PROTECTION
Protect your industrial design and prevent others from exploiting your ideas
Novelty and individual character are essential to a design protection. Therefore, it is important that the application for the registration of a design is filed before any other action is taken which could expose the design to the public, e.g. before exhibiting at fairs or exhibitions, advertising or introducing a new product on the market. The design should also have individual character, which means that the overall impression of the product on the user should differ from the overall impression of a different product.
The right conferred by a design is a territorial right, i.e. it is valid only on the territory where it was granted. The answer to the question of where to register a design depends on the business strategy of a company, its competition, the location of production facilities and many other factors.
We help our clients protect their design properly and in a timely manner in accordance with their business strategy. We offer services to protect designs in Slovenia, the European Union, and internationally.
