Copyright law does not protect styles or techniques. However, if another crafter’s use of your distinctive style means that people confuse that person’s work with yours, you may be able to take legal action under the law of “passing off”, consumer protection legislation or trade practices legislation.

If you are concerned that you may have grounds to take action under these other areas of law, you should consider getting advice from a lawyer with expertise in these areas of law before making accusations that can’t be substantiated.
