This event resulted in an immediate call to action by the US government to protect and defend its citizens and country.

However, trademarks are the only aspect that is protected in the fashion industry. As a result, this lack of intellectual protection (IP) for fashion has directly led to its huge success.

This states that we have a greater variety of fashion aspects to choose from. The second advantage is that fashion trends are now being established faster in the world.

1. Have you ever wondered how the things you buy get delivered to the stores? Semis, planes, trains, and sometimes boats.
