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
