This is one of the problems.... get copied.
A few months ago i come across some designer objects who always get copied, like "Arco" from Achille Castiglioni, it's amazing how many products alike that i've seen in the stores, at least in Portugal.
The problem is: Patent Registration
Many of the designer object aren't registered worldwide so everyone can make similar objects; in my opinion this should be considered a crime, though.
