Design Protection
We protect the visual identity of your products – nationally, throughout Europe, and internationally.
Design rights serve to protect two- and three-dimensional designs, such as shapes, lines, contours, surface textures, or the overall appearance of a product. They are an effective tool for protection against imitations, even in cases where a technical invention is not the primary focus.
- Design Law
Delivering What Matters.
Especially in markets where design influences purchasing decisions, this protection often provides a decisive competitive advantage.
Design protection is particularly effective when used in combination with other forms of protection: In many cases, it complements patent and trademark protection to form a coherent overall strategy that equally safeguards the technology, function, and appearance of your product.
Strategic advice backed by experience.
We help you clearly identify the design features eligible for protection and select an application strategy that aligns with your product, your timeline, and your marketing concept.
