INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ARRANGEMENTS
The design patent with
IP Australia is currently held by the designer, Tony Burton, for the sole
purpose of protecting the design and to avoid exploitation of the design by
retailers with no association with the ASSI community. As conveyed previously by
the designer to the community, it is the intention of the designer to transfer
the design and patent to an ASSI agency constituted for that purpose. Whilst the
current intellectual property rights over the design, and/or the variations of
its here published may change in the future, in order to promote the orderly
development and usage of the flag, the designer, with the assistance of Flags
Australia, has arranged for the manufacturing of the flag under licence and will
grant approvals for reproductions of the flag in print and other media. Any fees
or sale margin on such arrangements received by the designer or Flags Australia
will be used to cover costs, and any profit returned to the ASSI community's
agency when constituted. In the meantime, all enquires should be directed off
line to www.flagsaustralia.com.au/Contact.html.

A supply of the ASSI flag is available for
sale through Flags Australia. A small discount is available to members of the
ASSI community who identify themselves as ASSI Descendants. An order form for
