Design protection
We can protect the design and appearance of your product for up to 25 years.
The protection covers the entire overall visual impression of the design, i.e. lines, contours, colors, shape and structure.
If others infringe your design, it is possible through the court to have a ban on the manufacture, sale, import or rental of the same or similar products.
In addition, you can be awarded compensation for your loss through the court.
Within the EU, it is possible to protect designs in all 28 Member States with just a single application.
Our expertise
To get protection, a design must be:
NEW – It is not possible to protect a design if a similar design has been previously published.
SPECIAL – To protect a design, it must have an individual character. This means that the overall impression must be clearly different from the design of other known products.
For each product and product series, we create the visual overall impression with recognizable alignment, contours, colors, shapes and structures, which make your design solution something new and special.
