Designs
The appearance of products can be important to their commercial success. Good design does not come cheap, and to protect your investment you need to make the most of your intellectual property rights.
Limited protection against exact copying is afforded by unregistered design right, but the scope of protection can be greatly extended by registering the design. Design registration is relatively cheap and quick, and can provide valuable protection alongside other rights such as patents and trademarks.
We can advise on the best way to protect your designs and can handle all stages, from the preparation of formal representations of the designs through to registration and enforcement of your rights, or licensing others to use your designs.
Registration can be obtained in the UK or for the whole of the European Community. Many countries around the world provide protection for designs, and we can help you wherever your products need to be protected.
