So you're saying a company representative can come to your home at any time and take all the clothes you bought from them because they still own the rights to the design ?

Didn't mean to sound harsh. Not a native English speaker.

It's still in a gray legal area in most countries or they wouldn't even be trying. Nobody is trying to steal the intelectual property, just make it that companies can't come years later and remove things you bought full price . It's a matter of customer protection.
