Design
The trend has long been set towards the importance of design in the success of a product; whether we talk about industrial design, packaging design, design in advertising or fashion or other fields. Protecting those designs became more important than ever. Just like trademarks, designs can represent important competitive advantages, unique selling points – the very argument that convinces a consumer to choose one product from another. The Ropatent team has deep knowledge on design legal matters and has always found the most suited ways to protect design IP rights.
Ropatent specialists assist clients who wish to register designs in building their design rights strategic approach. First of all, we make sure that the design under consideration can be registered; we conduct novelty and infringement searches. Our team’s know-how and experience is engaged in finding the best solutions for various issues such as validity and infringement.
We file and prosecute design applications through the entire process until registration before national and international courts. We advise on design clearance and filing methods to minimize costs and obtain the maximum IP protection.
