Obtaining Rights in Designs


Different countries give protection for designs in different ways. We will advise you on the scope of design protection available to you in your countries of interest.

We are qualified to act for you before the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office, the European Union Intellectual Property Office, and the World Intellectual Property Office that administers the Hague registered design system. We can advise you on how to protect your designs in jurisdictions around the world as we have an extensive network of overseas attorneys with whom we work.

In advising you, we take into account the size of your market, your budget resources, and the law governing design protection in the jurisdiction concerned. We arrange for pre-registration clearance searches, which reduce the scope for later challenges to your registration.
