Companies can currently sell replica goods providing 25 years has passed from the date the item originally went on sale, but a new EU ruling has extended that period to 70 years.

'We merely wanted the UK to conform to EU laws as quickly as possible after the government agreed that EU IP laws had to be adhered to in the UK. 'The originals that we stand for are certainly superior to a copy. A design classic has a history and an added emotional value.'
