As of 2025, the U.S. Copyright Office has clarified that copyright protection requires human authorship, forcing fashion brands to ensure and document clear human input in AI-generated creative output. For decision-makers evaluating generative AI in 3D design workflows, understanding IP ownership boundaries is no longer optional\u2014it&#8217;s a business imperative.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"human-authorship-the-foundation-of-copyright-prote\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Human Authorship: The Foundation of Copyright Protection in AI-Assisted Design<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The U.S. Copyright Office&#8217;s guidance establishes a fundamental principle: copyright protection requires human authorship. Works produced solely by machines or AI systems can&#8217;t qualify for copyright registration, regardless of their creativity or commercial value. This distinction directly impacts how companies protect AI-assisted creations in fashion design.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The Copyright Office outlines three key scenarios where AI-generated material can receive official copyright certification: when human-authored content is incorporated into the AI output; when a human significantly modifies or arranges the AI-generated material; and when the human contribution is sufficiently expressive and creative. Using AI in the creative process does not disqualify a work from protection\u2014AI can assist with editing, generating drafts, or acting as a creative assistant while the human determines final expression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">On February 14, 2024, the USPTO published guidance on patentability of AI-assisted inventions, stating that when a human makes a &#8220;significant contribution&#8221; to an AI-generated design, the human can be considered an &#8220;inventor&#8221;. A designer is unlikely to become an &#8220;inventor&#8221; by merely identifying or selecting an AI-generated design, but adding their own significant contribution enables design patent protection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"group relative my-[1em]\">\n<div class=\"sticky top-0 z-10 h-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-hidden bg-raised border-x md:max-w-[90vw] border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-auto scrollbar-subtle rounded-lg border md:max-w-[90vw] border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest bg-raised\">\n<table class=\"[&amp;_tr:last-child_td]:border-b-0 my-0 w-full table-auto border-separate border-spacing-0 text-sm font-sans rounded-lg [&amp;_tr:last-child_td:first-child]:rounded-bl-lg [&amp;_tr:last-child_td:last-child]:rounded-br-lg\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"border-subtlest p-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b text-left align-bottom border-r last:border-r-0 font-bold bg-subtle first:border-radius-tl-lg last:border-radius-tr-lg\" scope=\"col\">Scenario<\/th>\n<th class=\"border-subtlest p-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b text-left align-bottom border-r last:border-r-0 font-bold bg-subtle first:border-radius-tl-lg last:border-radius-tr-lg\" scope=\"col\">Copyright Eligibility<\/th>\n<th class=\"border-subtlest p-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b text-left align-bottom border-r last:border-r-0 font-bold bg-subtle first:border-radius-tl-lg last:border-radius-tr-lg\" scope=\"col\">Human Contribution Required<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">AI generates design without input<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Not eligible<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">None\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Designer crafts prompts + selects outputs<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Shared\/ambiguous<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Moderate\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Brand commissions with internal data + directs all stages<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Likely eligible<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">High\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Designer sketches over AI output<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Eligible<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Significant edits\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">When a pattern maker imports a DXF file into Style3D after AI generates the initial pattern, the typical first friction point is verifying that human modifications are substantial enough to establish authorship. Designers must document how they refine, alter, or build upon AI-generated ideas to strengthen ownership claims.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"documenting-your-creative-process-building-an-audi\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Documenting Your Creative Process: Building an Audit Trail for IP Protection<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Designers using AI for ideation must document how they refine, alter, or build upon those ideas. Photographers relying on AI-enhanced visuals must show their own artistic decisions in composition, lighting, and editing. Marketing teams using AI copy must demonstrate human direction and brand contextualization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Brands should maintain a digital audit trail of their creative process, including original prompts or concept sketches, notes on human edits and decision-making, and version histories or layered design files. This documentation provides proof that there is a human &#8220;inventor,&#8221; rendering the design eligible for a design patent. To help ensure designs will be eligible for design patent protection, designers should carefully document their design processes, specifically identifying which elements were generated by AI and which were human-generated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Designers can document their prompts, edits, and curation steps so they can demonstrate their creative input. They should also understand the terms of the AI tool used and any licenses it grants. Most AI tools grant users commercial rights but only if the user abides by the platform&#8217;s guidelines and doesn&#8217;t infringe on others&#8217; works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">SOHO FASHION, with more than four decades in the apparel business, built an extensive internal digital library with 12,918 pieces of fabric and 3,959 3D silhouettes stored within their proprietary cloud platform . This enables structured management and rapid circulation of fabrics, patterns, and samples, allowing full lifecycle digital management from development to delivery . Their digital competence makes them far harder to replace as a supplier, demonstrating how accumulated digital assets create competitive moats .<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"training-data-and-dataset-bias-the-hidden-ip-risk\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Training Data and Dataset Bias: The Hidden IP Risk in Off-the-Shelf AI<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">A recent study indicates that generative AI models like OpenAI&#8217;s GPT may reproduce copyrighted training data more closely than previously understood, moving beyond mere pattern recognition towards potential replication. This raises immediate concerns for the fashion industry&#8217;s increasing integration of off-the-shelf AI in various workflows, from design ideation to marketing copy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The findings suggest these models can, under certain conditions, reproduce passages from their training materials that closely resemble copyrighted content. While the study does not claim GPT models are routinely outputting full, word-for-word reproductions of entire copyrighted works, it does point to instances where AI responses appear suspiciously close to original sources, especially when prompted carefully.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Some companies use commercially available AI systems trained based off publicly-available images, while others design their own in-house AI trained entirely on company-generated design images. An in-house AI specifically created to solve certain design problems and trained to use certain styles and techniques may represent a best-case scenario for businesses. Because the designers of the AI system can be listed as inventors for designs generated by their AI, all designs flowing from an internal AI can become eligible for design patent protection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Unclear ownership can lead to disputes, loss of revenue, or unprotected work. Brands often use contracts, licenses, and internal policies to define ownership when AI is involved. They may also work with intellectual-property lawyers to ensure commercial rights are clearly defined.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"counter-consensus-ai-doesnt-eliminate-human-creati\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Counter-Consensus: AI Doesn&#8217;t Eliminate Human Creativity in Fashion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The common industry assumption is that generative AI will replace human designers in fashion. This view is not supported by industry data\u2014AI remains a tool for productivity and ideas rather than a replacement for genuine creativity. Up to 25 percent of the potential value of AI in fashion will come from the creative side, underscoring just how integral human creativity remains even as AI becomes embedded across the design workflow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">SOHO FASHION&#8217;s R&amp;D Innovation Division explains that AI delivers two core benefits: &#8220;speed&#8221; and &#8220;accuracy&#8221; . The goal of automation is not to replace designers, but to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the &#8220;first draft&#8221; and &#8220;multiple options&#8221; processes . By completing time-consuming tasks upfront, designers can focus on refinement using 3D tools, achieving both speed and accuracy .<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">A major Chinese publicly listed textile company experienced a significant increase in order volumes after introducing 3D technology, with customer loyalty largely improved . Without 3D, their efficiency would drop dramatically\u2014demonstrating that AI and 3D are engines behind productivity leaps, not replacements . The future of fashion belongs to those who champion transparency, meticulous documentation, and deep respect for human-led artistry.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"honest-limitations-of-current-ai-ip-frameworks\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Honest Limitations of Current AI IP Frameworks<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Despite advances in AI documentation tools, 3D\/AI fashion workflows have unresolved IP tradeoffs. The legal framework for AI-assisted copyright remains fragmented across jurisdictions\u2014in November 2023, the Beijing Internet Court recognized copyright protection for an AI-generated image if it demonstrates originality and reflects human intellectual effort, while U.S. courts maintain stricter human authorship requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Hardware requirements present friction: GPU-based 3D simulation demands high-end workstations with dedicated graphics cards, which can be prohibitive for smaller studios. Integration with legacy PLM systems sometimes causes metadata loss during tech pack export, requiring manual reconciliation of BOM (Bill of Materials) entries. Version control for AI-generated assets across teams remains inconsistent, making audit trails difficult to maintain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The &#8220;significant contribution&#8221; threshold for inventorship has no bright-line rule, creating uncertainty for brands seeking design patent protection. A designer contributing prompt engineering might qualify as inventor, while one merely selecting AI outputs might not. This ambiguity requires case-by-case legal analysis, adding cost to IP strategy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ip-protection-framework-for-fashion-brands-using-a\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">IP Protection Framework for Fashion Brands Using AI<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group relative my-[1em]\">\n<div class=\"sticky top-0 z-10 h-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-hidden bg-raised border-x md:max-w-[90vw] border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-auto scrollbar-subtle rounded-lg border md:max-w-[90vw] border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest bg-raised\">\n<table class=\"[&amp;_tr:last-child_td]:border-b-0 my-0 w-full table-auto border-separate border-spacing-0 text-sm font-sans rounded-lg [&amp;_tr:last-child_td:first-child]:rounded-bl-lg [&amp;_tr:last-child_td:last-child]:rounded-br-lg\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"border-subtlest p-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b text-left align-bottom border-r last:border-r-0 font-bold bg-subtle first:border-radius-tl-lg last:border-radius-tr-lg\" scope=\"col\">Protection Type<\/th>\n<th class=\"border-subtlest p-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b text-left align-bottom border-r last:border-r-0 font-bold bg-subtle first:border-radius-tl-lg last:border-radius-tr-lg\" scope=\"col\">What It Covers<\/th>\n<th class=\"border-subtlest p-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b text-left align-bottom border-r last:border-r-0 font-bold bg-subtle first:border-radius-tl-lg last:border-radius-tr-lg\" scope=\"col\">AI-Generated Eligibility<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Copyright<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Original expression (sketches, patterns)<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Requires significant human authorship\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Design Patent<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Visual appearance of design<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Human must make significant contribution\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Trade Secret<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Proprietary algorithms, training data<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Fully protectable if kept confidential\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Contract<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Licensing terms, ownership agreements<\/td>\n<td class=\"border-subtlest px-sm min-w-[48px] break-normal border-b border-r last:border-r-0\">Enforceable regardless of AI involvement\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Brands should limit AI prompts to solving specific problems and avoid prompting for fully-formed designs to increase patent eligibility.

The U.S. Copyright Office has clarified that only works created with significant human authorship are eligible for copyright. Designers must demonstrate creative input such as refining, sketching over, or reinterpreting the AI-generated concept.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><strong>What counts as &#8220;human authorship&#8221; when AI assists in fashion design?<\/strong><br \/>Human authorship refers to creative decisions shaping final output, like directing lighting, refining AI-generated visuals, or editing and composing the final layout. Merely generating a design with designer-supplied prompts could mean it&#8217;s not protected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><strong>How should brands document AI-assisted creative work for IP protection?<\/strong><br \/>Brands should maintain a digital audit trail including original prompts, concept sketches, notes on human edits, and version histories or layered design files.

A significant contribution could be shown by constructing prompts in view of specific problems to elicit particular solutions.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sources\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_&amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\">\n<li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\">\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><span class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"Fashion X Generative AI: IP design protection from GenAI\" data-state=\"closed\"><a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoganlovells.com\/en\/publications\/fashion-x-generative-ai-ip-design-protection-from-genai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">Fashion X Generative AI: IP design protection from GenAI<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\">\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><span class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"How The U.S. Copyright Office's AI Stance Is Reshaping Fashion's ...\" data-state=\"closed\"><a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/techpacker.com\/blog\/design\/how-the-us-copyright-offices-ai-stance-is-reshaping-fashions-creative-pipeline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">How The U.S. Copyright Office&#8217;s AI Stance Is Reshaping Fashion&#8217;s Creative Pipeline<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\">\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><span class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"AI, Ownership And The Legality Of Generative Inspiration\" data-state=\"closed\"><a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theinterline.com\/2025\/04\/08\/ai-ownership-and-the-legality-of-generative-inspiration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">AI, Ownership And The Legality Of Generative Inspiration<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\">\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><span class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"AI, Copyright, and the Law: The Ongoing Battle Over Intellectual ...\" data-state=\"closed\"><a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.usc.edu\/iptls\/2025\/02\/04\/ai-copyright-and-the-law-the-ongoing-battle-over-intellectual-property-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">AI, Copyright, and the Law: The Ongoing Battle Over Intellectual Property Rights<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\">\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><span class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"AI and Intellectual Property in Fashion Design\" data-state=\"closed\"><a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/fashionaischool.com\/ai-and-intellectual-property-in-fashion-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">AI and Intellectual Property in Fashion Design<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\">\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.style3d.com\/blog\/style3d-x-soho-fashion-how-ai-3d-keep-design-and-clients-perfectly-in-sync\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">Style3D \u00d7 SOHO FASHION: How AI + 3D Keep Design and Clients Perfectly In Sync<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to McKinsey&#8217;s 2024 State of Fashion Rep &#8230;
