🇺🇸 Frequently Asked Questions

What is a design patent?
+
A design patent protects the ornamental design of a functional item. Design is inseparable from the article to which it is applied and cannot exist alone merely as a scheme of surface ornamentation. Unlike utility patents that protect how something works, design patents protect how something looks.
How is a design patent different from a utility patent?
+
In general terms, a utility patent protects the way an article is used and works, while a design patent protects the ornamental appearance. A design patent safeguards the way an item looks, not how it works or is used (which can only be protected by utility patents).
What can be protected by a design patent?
+
An ornamental design may be embodied in an entire article (e.g., a vase) or only a portion (e.g., the handle of a cup), or may be ornamentation applied to an article. This includes:

• Shape and configuration of products
• Surface ornamentation and patterns
• Computer-generated icons on screens
• Unique product appearances
• Decorative elements applied to articles
How long does a design patent last?
+
A design patent is generally easier to obtain and lasts for a term of 15 years from the date of grant (for applications filed on or after May 13, 2015). No maintenance fees are required.
What are the basic requirements for obtaining a design patent?
+
The U.S. design patent statute (35 U.S.C. 171-173) states four key requirements:

• Novelty
• Originality
• Ornamentality
• The subject must be an "article of manufacture".

Additionally, the design must be non-obvious.
What does "novelty" mean for design patents?
+
The design must be new. Courts apply the "average observer test" to evaluate the novelty of a design, meaning the overall appearance must be different from existing prior art in the eyes of an ordinary observer.
What is the "originality" requirement?
+
A patentable design must be original. You cannot obtain a design patent for something copied from another source. This protects the interests of the original inventor.
What does "ornamental" mean in design patent context?
+
The design must have a unique ornamental appearance. The USPTO examines ornamentality in relation to the product’s function. In general, the design should not be dictated solely by mechanical or functional requirements.
What is an "article of manufacture"?
+
Section 171 requires that the design must be "for an article of manufacture", meaning a man-made tangible object. Thus, prints, pictures, or decorative designs must be applied to such an object to qualify.

    🇦🇪 Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a registered industrial design in the UAE?
    +
    A registered design in the UAE protects the visual appearance or aesthetic features of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. It does not cover the product’s function — only how it looks.

    We assist individuals, startups, and companies in filing and registering their industrial designs through the UAE Ministry of Economy.
    Why should I register a design in the UAE?
    +
    Registering your design in the UAE:

    • Grants you exclusive legal rights to prevent others from copying or using your design
    • Enhances brand value and business credibility
    • Protects you in case of commercial disputes or imitation
    • Allows you to take legal action against counterfeiters

    Our experts handle the full process for you — from documentation to final registration.
    What types of designs are eligible for protection?
    +
    You can register designs related to:

    • Product packaging
    • Furniture, tools, and containers
    • Fashion items and accessories
    • Digital and tech product casings
    • Industrial machines and household goods

    We assess your product and confirm whether your design qualifies under UAE design laws.
    What are the requirements for design registration in the UAE?
    +
    To file a design application, you will need:

    • Clear images or drawings of the design from multiple angles
    • A description of the product and the design features
    • Applicant details (individual or business)
    • Power of attorney if filing through a representative
    • Priority documents (if applicable)

    We prepare and submit all necessary paperwork on your behalf.
    How long does design protection last in the UAE?
    +
    Design registration in the UAE is valid for 10 years from the date of filing.

    After that, it cannot be renewed.

    We monitor the timeline and ensure you get the most out of your 10-year protection.
    What is the process for registering a design in the UAE?
    +
    The typical steps are:

    1. Preparing design representations and documents
    2. Filing the application with the UAE Ministry of Economy
    3. Formal examination by authorities
    4. Registration and issuance of a certificate

    We manage each step for you, ensuring full legal compliance and avoiding rejection.
    Can I claim priority from another country?
    +
    Yes. The UAE is a member of the Paris Convention, allowing you to claim priority from a foreign design application filed within the last 6 months.

    We handle all formalities related to priority claims.
    Can I register more than one design in one application?
    +
    No. Each design must be registered in a separate application.

    However, variations of the same design (minor modifications) may be grouped if approved by the examiner.

    We advise on how best to structure your filings for cost-efficiency and legal clarity.
    What happens if someone copies my registered design?
    +
    If your design is registered and someone uses or sells a similar version without your consent, you can:

    • Issue a legal notice or cease-and-desist
    • File an infringement complaint with UAE authorities
    • Seek fines, product seizures, or court action

    We support you through enforcement and help take swift legal action where needed.
    Can I sell or license my registered design?
    +
    Yes. Your registered design is an intellectual property asset, and you may sell, assign, or license it to others.

    We help draft licensing agreements and record them officially to protect your interests.
    Need Help Registering Your Design in the UAE?
    +
    We offer full-service UAE design registration, including:

    • Design eligibility checks
    • Document preparation and filing
    • Priority claim assistance
    • Communication with the Ministry of Economy
    • Legal enforcement and post-registration support

      🇳🇱 Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a registered design in the Netherlands?
      +
      A registered design in the Netherlands protects the external appearance of a product — such as its shape, contours, lines, texture, or ornamentation. This is ideal for physical products, packaging, graphic symbols, or user interfaces (UI).

      We help individuals and companies register their designs in the Netherlands and across the European Union.
      Is a Dutch design registration the same as an EU design?
      +
      In most cases, businesses register through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) for EU-wide protection, which includes the Netherlands.

      We offer both national guidance and EU-wide design registration services.
      Why should I register my design?
      +
      Registering your design gives you:

      • Exclusive rights over the look of your product
      • The legal ability to stop copycats and counterfeits
      • Added commercial value for licensing or selling
      • Protection in marketing, branding, and packaging

      We make the registration process quick and compliant for you.
      What qualifies for design protection?
      +
      To qualify, your design must be:

      • New (not publicly disclosed before filing)
      • Have individual character (clearly different from existing designs)
      • Applied to a physical product or part of it

      We help verify your design’s eligibility before filing.
      How long does design protection last in the Netherlands?
      +
      Design registration is valid for an initial 5 years, and can be renewed every 5 years up to a maximum of 25 years.

      We track renewal deadlines for all our clients and assist with timely renewals.
      What do I need to file a design application?
      +
      To register a design, you need:

      • Clear, high-quality images or drawings of the design
      • A description (optional but useful)
      • Product classification
      • Applicant details

      We prepare and file all necessary documents on your behalf with EUIPO or through Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP) if needed.
      Where do I register — Netherlands, Benelux, or EUIPO?
      +
      You can choose to:

      • Register through BOIP for protection in Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg (Benelux)
      • Register through EUIPO for protection across all 27 EU countries

      We help you choose the most effective and cost-efficient route depending on your market goals.
      Can I claim priority from another country?
      +
      Yes. If you've filed a design in another country within the last 6 months, you can claim priority in your Dutch or EU filing. This helps you preserve your earlier filing date internationally.

      We handle all priority claims and paperwork for cross-border protection.
      How long does the registration process take?
      +
      Designs are usually registered and published within a few days to a few weeks, as there is no substantive examination.

      We monitor the entire process and send you confirmation once your registration is complete.
      What if someone copies my design?
      +
      Once your design is registered, you have the legal right to take action against infringement in the Netherlands or EU. This can include:

      • Cease & desist letters
      • Takedown notices
      • Court proceedings

      We assist with enforcement strategies and provide support through our legal network.
      Do I need a Dutch or EU address to file?
      +
      No. If you're based outside the EU, you'll need a representative with a valid EU address to handle your filing.

      We act as your official representative in the EU and handle everything locally for you.
      ✅ Need Help Registering Your Design in the Netherlands?
      +
      We offer comprehensive design registration services, including:

      • Design eligibility check
      • High-quality image/drawing preparation
      • Filing with BOIP or EUIPO
      • Renewal tracking
      • Legal enforcement support

        How long does design protection last in Mexico?

          🇨🇦 Frequently Asked Questions

          What is a design registration in Canada?
          +
          A design registration (also known as an industrial design) protects the visual appearance of your product — including its shape, pattern, ornamentation, or configuration. It gives you the exclusive right to stop others from copying or imitating your product’s unique design.

          We help clients prepare and file their designs to secure this protection in Canada.
          What kind of designs can be registered?
          +
          Designs can be registered for a wide range of products, including:

          • Product packaging or containers
          • Furniture, lighting, and home decor
          • Clothing, shoes, and accessories
          • Jewelry, electronics, and more

          If your product has a unique look, we can help you determine whether it qualifies for registration.
          Why should I register my design?
          +
          Registering your design gives you the exclusive right to its appearance in Canada for up to 15 years. This helps you:

          • Prevent unauthorized copying or imitation
          • Strengthen your brand
          • Increase commercial value and investor interest
          • Take legal action against counterfeiters

          We make the entire process easy for you, from start to finish.
          How long does design protection last?
          +
          Design protection in Canada can last up to 15 years, provided that you pay the government maintenance fee after the 5th year. Once registered, you have exclusive rights during that time period.

          We handle all maintenance reminders and renewal formalities on your behalf.
          How do I register my design in Canada?
          +
          To register a design, you’ll need:

          • Clear, high-quality drawings or photos of your product from multiple views
          • A short description (optional but recommended)
          • A properly completed application

          We take care of the entire filing process — including preparing drawings, submitting your application, and tracking its progress.
          Do I need a prototype or physical sample?
          +
          No. You don’t need to submit a prototype. Your application is based entirely on your design drawings or images, which we help you create or refine as needed.
          Can I file after publicly launching my product?
          +
          Yes, but there's a 12-month deadline to file after your design has been made public (e.g., launched or advertised). If you miss this window, you may lose your right to register.

          We recommend filing before public release to ensure full protection.
          What if I want protection outside Canada?
          +
          You can file internationally using systems like the Hague Agreement, which allows you to protect your design in multiple countries through a single application.

          We assist with both Canadian and international design registrations.
          How long does the registration process take?
          +
          The average time to receive a design registration certificate in Canada is 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your design and the current examination backlog.

          We monitor your application throughout and provide updates at every step.
          Who owns the design — the creator or the business?
          +
          Ownership typically belongs to the creator or their employer, depending on how the design was developed. If your employee or contractor created it, we’ll help ensure proper ownership transfer is documented before filing.
          Can I register multiple designs in one application?
          +
          No, each application must be for one unique design. However, you can file multiple applications at the same time — and we can help streamline this process if you have several designs to protect.
          What happens after registration?
          +
          Once registered:

          • Your design is publicly listed and enforceable
          • You gain legal rights to stop unauthorized use
          • You can take legal action if your design is copied

          Our team is here to assist with any enforcement, licensing, or renewal services you may need after registration.
          Need Help Registering Your Design in Canada?
          +
          We offer a complete design registration service, including:

          • Professional design review
          • High-quality drawing preparation
          • Full application drafting & filing

            🇬🇧 Frequently Asked Questions

            What is a registered design in the UK?
            +
            A registered design in the UK protects the appearance of the whole or part of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern, and ornamentation. It gives you exclusive rights to use the design and stop others from using it without permission.

            We offer full support to help you register your design with the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO).
            What types of designs can be registered?
            +
            You can register a wide range of designs, such as:

            • Product shapes (e.g., tools, gadgets, containers)
            • Surface decoration (e.g., patterns, motifs)
            • Graphic user interfaces (GUIs)
            • Fashion and accessories
            • Packaging and branding elements

            We help you assess whether your design qualifies and manage all aspects of the application.
            Why should I register a design in the UK?
            +
            Registering your design provides:

            • Exclusive rights in the UK for up to 25 years
            • Legal protection against copying or imitation
            • Commercial value for licensing or sale
            • Stronger brand protection and investor confidence

            We ensure your registration is properly filed and monitored to maximize legal protection.
            How long does design protection last?
            +
            A UK registered design lasts for 5 years from the filing date and can be renewed every 5 years, up to a maximum of 25 years.

            Our team keeps track of renewal deadlines and handles the paperwork for you.
            What is required to file a design application in the UK?
            +
            To register your design, you need:

            • A clear representation of the design (drawings, photos, or digital renderings)
            • A product name or class (using the Locarno Classification)
            • Applicant details (individual or company)

            We take care of image preparation, classification, and formal submission through UKIPO.
            What makes a design eligible for registration?
            +
            Your design must:

            • Be new (not made public before the application or within 12 months of disclosure)
            • Have individual character (different from existing designs)
            • Not be solely functional

            We help you check the novelty and distinctiveness of your design before filing.
            What is the 12-month grace period?
            +
            If you've already disclosed your design publicly (e.g., on a website, social media, or in marketing), the UK offers a 12-month grace period to still file for registration — but only if the disclosure was made by the designer or with their consent.

            We recommend filing before disclosure, but if it’s already been published, we’ll guide you through your options.
            Can I claim priority from a foreign design application?
            +
            Yes. If you filed a design in another country within the last 6 months, you can claim priority in your UK application to keep your earlier filing date.

            We handle all priority claims and ensure correct documentation is submitted.
            How long does the design registration process take?
            +
            Designs can often be registered within 1 to 2 weeks if there are no issues with the application.

            We ensure all submissions meet UKIPO requirements to avoid delays.
            Can I register multiple designs in one application?
            +
            Yes. The UK allows you to file multiple designs in one application (called a multiple application), as long as they fall into the same product class.

            We help organize and bundle your designs efficiently to save costs.
            What happens if someone copies my registered design?
            +
            If someone uses, sells, imports, or reproduces your design without permission, you can:

            • Send a cease and desist letter
            • Take legal action through UK courts
            • Claim damages or request an injunction

            We support you in enforcing your design rights through legal partners in the UK.
            ✅ Need Help Registering Your Design in the UK?
            +
            We provide a complete UK design registration service, including:

            • Design eligibility review
            • Professional image preparation

              🇳🇿 Frequently Asked Questions

              What is a registered design in New Zealand?
              +
              A registered design in New Zealand protects the visual appearance of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. It does not protect how the product works — only how it looks.

              We help clients register their product designs through IPONZ to secure exclusive rights in New Zealand.
              What types of designs can be protected?
              +
              Design registration in New Zealand can protect:

              • Physical product shapes (e.g., containers, tools, furniture)
              • Surface patterns, lines, textures, or ornamentation
              • User interface elements or graphic features (when applied to a product)
              • Fashion items, jewelry, packaging, and industrial tools

              We evaluate your design and prepare a legally compliant application for submission.
              Why should I register my design in New Zealand?
              +
              Registering your design gives you:

              • Exclusive rights to the visual design in New Zealand
              • The legal ability to stop others from copying or using your design
              • A valuable IP asset for licensing or commercializing
              • A competitive edge in manufacturing and product marketing

              We manage the full process from filing to registration, saving you time and effort.
              How long is a registered design protected in New Zealand?
              +
              Design registration in New Zealand is valid for an initial term of 5 years, and can be renewed twice — up to a maximum of 15 years.

              We track all renewal deadlines and assist with timely renewals to keep your protection active.
              What are the requirements to register a design?
              +
              To register a design in New Zealand, you'll need:

              • A representation or drawing of the design showing all angles
              • A brief description of the article and how the design is applied
              • Classification details (Locarno system)
              • Applicant details (individual or company)

              We handle every step of the application and ensure your documents meet IPONZ’s standards.
              What are the criteria for a valid design registration?
              +
              To be registered, your design must:

              • Be new and original (not publicly disclosed before the filing date)
              • Be applied to a manufactured product
              • Not be dictated solely by the product's function

              We review your design to ensure it qualifies before preparing the application.
              Can I register multiple designs in one application?
              +
              No. Each design must be filed in a separate application, even if the designs are similar or related.

              However, we offer discounted service packages if you need to register multiple designs at once.
              Can I claim priority from an overseas design application?
              +
              Yes. If you filed a design in another country within the last 6 months, you can claim priority when registering in New Zealand, keeping your earlier filing date.

              We help manage priority claims and handle all required documentation.
              What is the grace period for disclosure?
              +
              New Zealand currently does not offer a grace period — meaning if your design is made public before filing, it may no longer be considered new.

              We strongly recommend filing your design before any public disclosure, and we can expedite your application if needed.
              How long does the registration process take?
              +
              If your design meets all formal requirements, it can be registered within a few weeks to a couple of months.

              We monitor your application closely and provide updates until your certificate is issued.
              What protection do I get after registration?
              +
              Once registered, you can:

              • Prevent others from manufacturing, selling, or importing products that use your design
              • Take legal action against infringers
              • License your design to others commercially
              • Use your registration as an asset in branding or investment

              We support you in enforcing your rights, including legal consultation and takedown procedures.
              Need Help Registering Your Design in New Zealand?
              +
              We offer end-to-end services for design registration, including:

              • Design eligibility assessment
