🇺🇸 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 14 years with no additional financial obligations after registration.
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 design patent in China?
    +
    A design patent in China protects the visual appearance of a product — including its shape, pattern, color, or any combination of these — as long as it is new, aesthetic, and suitable for industrial application.

    We help clients file and register their designs in China through the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
    What can be protected as a design in China?
    +
    In China, design protection covers:

    • 3D product shapes
    • 2D patterns or graphics on products
    • Packaging designs
    • Interface layouts (GUI elements)
    • Product combinations (e.g., toolkits)

    We will evaluate your product and confirm whether it qualifies for design patent protection in China.
    Why should I register my design in China?
    +
    Registering your design in China:

    • Grants exclusive rights to prevent unauthorized copying or imitation
    • Protects your design in one of the world’s largest manufacturing and consumer markets
    • Helps enforce your rights with customs, marketplaces, and courts
    • Increases commercial credibility and value

    We make the process simple by preparing and filing your application directly with CNIPA.
    How long does design protection last in China?
    +
    A registered design patent in China lasts for 15 years from the date of filing (for applications filed on or after June 1, 2021).

    We track this for you and help manage all timelines and renewals.
    What is required to file a design patent in China?
    +
    You’ll need:

    • High-quality drawings or photos of the design (we can create these for you)
    • A brief design explanation
    • Applicant details (individual or company)
    • Priority documents (if claiming earlier foreign filings)

    Our team handles the entire documentation and filing process on your behalf.
    Can I claim priority from another country?
    +
    Yes. If you’ve filed a design application in another country (such as the U.S., EU, etc.) within the past 6 months, you can claim priority in China under the Paris Convention.

    We help coordinate priority claims with your foreign filings.
    Does China allow international filings under the Hague Agreement?
    +
    Yes, China is a member of the Hague System. You can file a single international design application through WIPO and designate China.

    Whether you file directly or through the Hague route, we assist with either process.
    Do I need a local Chinese address or representative?
    +
    Yes. Foreign applicants must appoint a registered Chinese patent agent.

    Our firm partners with licensed local agents in China to file and manage your design application smoothly and lawfully.
    How long does it take to register a design in China?
    +
    The standard timeline for registration is about 6 to 9 months if there are no objections or corrections required.

    We keep you updated throughout and ensure that your application meets all formal requirements to avoid delays.
    Can I file multiple designs in one application?
    +
    China follows a one design per application rule, but you may file multiple similar designs in one submission if they belong to the same product class.

    We will advise you on whether your designs can be grouped or must be filed separately.
    What happens after my design is registered?
    +
    Once registered:

    • You gain exclusive rights in China for 15 years
    • Your design is listed in the public CNIPA database
    • You can take legal action against infringement
    • You can record your design with China Customs to stop counterfeits at the border

    We provide enforcement support and can assist with monitoring and customs filings.

      🇩🇪 Frequently Asked Questions

      Can African businesses register a trademark in Germany?

      What is the DPMA?
      +
      The DPMA (German Patent and Trademark Office) is the official authority responsible for registering and protecting trademarks in Germany.
      Why should I register a trademark in Germany?
      +
      • Protect your brand in one of Europe’s largest markets
      • Prevent others from copying or misusing your brand
      • Gain legal rights and credibility for your products/services in the EU
      • Use the registration to expand into other EU countries

      Do I need to use the trademark in Germany before filing?

        🇳🇱 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.

          🇲🇽 Frequently Asked Questions

          What is an industrial design in Mexico?
          +
          An industrial design in Mexico protects the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of a product — such as shape, pattern, configuration, or surface decoration — that gives it a distinct visual appearance. It does not protect technical or functional features.
          Who can register an industrial design in Mexico?
          +
          Any individual or company, whether local or foreign, can apply for design registration in Mexico. If you're not a resident, we can act as your authorized representative and manage the entire application process on your behalf.
          How long does design protection last in Mexico?
          +
          Design registrations in Mexico are valid for five (5) years from the filing date and can be renewed in 5-year increments up to a maximum of 25 years.
          What is required to file a design application?
          +
          To register a design in Mexico, you typically need:

          • A clear representation of the design (drawings or images)
          • A description of the design (optional but recommended)
          • Applicant details (name, address, nationality)
          • Priority claim details (if applicable)

          Our team ensures that all documents meet the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) requirements and prepares the filing accordingly.
          Can I claim priority from an earlier application in another country?
          +
          Yes. Under the Paris Convention, if you’ve filed a design application in another member country, you can claim priority within 6 months of that filing when registering in Mexico. We can assist in properly submitting the priority claim.
          What are the benefits of registering a design in Mexico?
          +
          Registering your design gives you:

          • Exclusive rights to use and commercialize the design in Mexico
          • The ability to prevent imitation or unauthorized use
          • Legal grounds to enforce your rights through cease and desist notices or litigation
          How long does it take to register a design in Mexico?
          +
          The registration process typically takes 4 to 8 months, depending on IMPI’s examination timeline and any objections or clarifications. We actively monitor and manage the application to ensure timely progress.
          Do you assist with the full process?
          +
          Yes, we provide end-to-end support for industrial design registration in Mexico, including:

          • Application preparation and filing
          • Legal representation before IMPI
          • Priority claim handling
          • Response to office actions (if needed)
          • Renewals and portfolio management
          Is design protection in Mexico enforceable?
          +
          Absolutely. Once registered, your design is enforceable under Mexican IP law, and we can assist in enforcing your rights against infringers through legal notices or court actions if needed.
          Ready to register your design in Mexico?
          +
          We’re here to help. Our team will ensure your design is properly protected and fully compliant with local IP laws.

            🇨🇦 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.

              🇪🇺 Frequently Asked Questions

              What is a registered design under EUIPO?
              +
              A registered Community design (RCD) protects the appearance of a product across all 27 European Union member states. It includes features like shape, color, texture, lines, and ornamentation — but not the product’s function.

              We offer full support to help you register your design with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and secure EU-wide protection.
              Why should I register a design with EUIPO?
              +
              Registering a design with EUIPO gives you:

              • Exclusive rights across the entire EU with a single registration
              • The ability to stop copycats and infringers in any EU country
              • A strong IP asset for licensing or commercial deals
              • Legal protection at borders and in online marketplaces

              We handle the entire process from filing to registration and beyond.
              What types of designs can be protected?
              +
              EUIPO protects the visual appearance of:

              • Industrial and consumer products
              • Packaging and containers
              • Fashion and jewelry
              • Tools, electronics, furniture
              • UI elements and icons (when applied to a product)

              We evaluate your design and prepare the correct visual representations for submission.
              What are the conditions for design registration under EU law?
              +
              To be registered, your design must:

              • Be new (not disclosed before filing)
              • Have individual character (significantly different from existing designs)
              • Be visible during normal use of the product

              Our team checks for novelty and distinctiveness before filing to reduce risks.
              How long does a registered Community design last?
              +
              An RCD lasts for 5 years from the filing date and can be renewed in 5-year periods, up to a maximum of 25 years.

              We provide automatic renewal tracking and support to keep your protection active.
              How long does it take to register a design with EUIPO?
              +
              If all documents are correct, registration can be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks. EUIPO does not perform a substantive examination, so the process is fast.

              We ensure your application meets all visual and formal standards for quick approval.
              What do I need to file a design application with EUIPO?
              +
              To file a design with EUIPO, you’ll need:

              • High-quality images or drawings of the design (from various views)
              • The product indication (Locarno Classification)
              • Applicant details
              • A brief description (optional)
              • Priority documents if applicable

              We prepare and file all required documents for you through the official EUIPO portal.
              Can I file multiple designs in one application?
              +
              Yes! You can file up to 100 designs in a single EUIPO application, as long as they belong to the same class under the Locarno system.

              We help bundle your designs efficiently and reduce your costs.
              Can I claim priority from a foreign application?
              +
              Yes. If you filed a design in another Paris Convention country within the past 6 months, you can claim priority for your EUIPO application.

              We assist with priority filings and manage all cross-border IP documentation.
              What happens if someone copies my EU-registered design?
              +
              If your design is registered with EUIPO, you can:

              • File infringement claims in any EU country
              • Send cease-and-desist letters
              • Take down counterfeit listings on marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or AliExpress
              • Request customs enforcement

              We support legal enforcement and work with IP lawyers across the EU to protect your rights.
              Is EUIPO design protection valid outside the EU?
              +
              No. EUIPO protection is valid only within the 27 EU countries. If you need international protection, we can help you register via:

              • The Hague System for multiple countries
              • National filings in specific jurisdictions like the UK, US, UAE, etc.

              We guide you through global filing strategies based on your target markets.

                🇳🇿 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.
