Liveryman Nick Kounoupias Appointed Director of ACID

Nick has recently been appointed as a new Director for ACID (Anti-Copying In Design) from January 2021. 

“I am hugely privileged and honoured to be appointed as a Director of ACID. ACID is different to any other IP trade association in the UK and has its roots in the IP theft of Dids’ own designs. Accordingly, we know better than most what it feels like to have IP stolen, which in turn fuels ACID’s passion for protecting our members’ designs both in the law courts and the courts of public opinion. Indeed, ACID’s status and success on the lobbying front also stems from this passion and unshakeable belief that designers need far better protection, especially as most of them are lone, micro or small businesses.”
