About the tato-letterfold I created, an educational institute asked me to present a financial quote for folding a large quantity of leaflets in an original and interesting way. That inspired me to create the model I showed you guys two days ago. So say that they do pay for my services and I fold all the leaflets like that. I'm wondering if it's OK or if it isn't for the institute to keep on using that folding design for future leaflets. Once they have it, they can simply study the design and fold them themselves; it would be cheaper than paying my services for a second time. Know what I mean?
In my country, Artistic origami is protected by copyright law but useful origami isn't. I know this for a fact. Tatos and letterfolds are considered useful origami instead of artistic. Where I'm going with this is that the institute wouldn't be braking any laws in my country for simply using a second time my folding design without paying me nor with my consent. So that's what I've been thinking about. I can't even make my mind of whether it's OK or if it isn't for a organization to do that. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance guys ; )
