Advice on design law<\/h2>\n\n

Design law is becoming increasingly important, as the external appearance of products represents not only aesthetic but also considerable economic value. It is therefore crucial to provide your company with optimal design law support from the very beginning – from the development of a targeted design strategy to the legally secure protection and continuous maintenance of your designs to the consistent defense of your laws. Our experienced lawyers and specialist attorneys will advise you in all relevant areas of design law in order to strategically develop and sustainably protect your visual identities. <\/p>\n\n

Advice on design strategy<\/h3>\n\n

A sound design strategy forms the foundation for the market success of your products. We support you in protecting the appearance of your goods and services in the best possible legal way – be it as a registered design or as a design patent. As early as the conception phase, we check whether your desired design has the necessary protectability and is free from third-party laws. Industry-specific features and distribution channels are included in our analysis in order to guarantee an economically viable and sustainable design strategy. <\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Design patent?<\/p>\n\n<\/div> \r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The unregistered Community design offers automatic but time-limited design protection throughout the EU without registration. It is particularly relevant for products with short market cycles, for example in the fashion industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation:<\/strong>Registration is preferable for important designs with longer-term significance. The unregistered design is suitable as a supplement or for designs with short-term market relevance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
