ACID, Anti Copying in Design, actively protects the interests of their members and assists them in pursuing cases of IP infringement.



There have been over 200 successful settlements on behalf of ACID’s members; only three have reached a final Court hearing.



Over 2 million pounds has been recovered in costs and damages for ACID members.



The ACID brand has become a powerful voice within the design community - a voice the organisation intends to be heard across boardrooms and buying departments nationally where directors would be appalled if anyone accused them of the theft of their colleague’s watch or wallet but still think it’s OK to steal ideas and products.



The bottom line is theft is theft whether it’s a thing or an idea.
