Visual aspects of many products can be protected with registered designs, enabling action to be taken against those who try to produce copycat items.
The value of design protection can often be overlooked. Depending on the product, registered designs can be the key aspect of IP protection.
Why design registration matters for your products
Design registrations are often relatively quick and inexpensive to obtain and, in certain circumstances, they can be very useful in preventing others from commercialising products having the same or a similar appearance.
Registered designs are often best used in combination with patent and trade mark rights, and our team can advise how to implement such strategies, including design registration in the UK and internationally, for businesses seeking wider coverage.
