Design is so important to a product’s mass appeal. Think of the I-pod, or Dyson vacuum cleaner. Design registration is a cost effective way of protecting a core design of your brand, which helps strengthen the brand. Registration gives you a monopoly right to use the design, so there is no need to prove copying to stop a similar product design.
The definition of ‘design’ is very broad, and includes logos, packaging, fashion garments, handicraft, a sculpture, products such as chairs, or a pattern (eg tartan) or images applied to the surface of products like textiles or wallpaper. Even graphic symbols on a computer screen, and typefaces may be registered as designs provided the design is registered within a year.
To register a design in the USA or other territories, please ask us for a quote.
If you are interested in registering your design, decide where you want to register it – UK, Europe, elsewhere, and email or phone us.
