Designs

What is a design

The registration of a design or model gives the owner the exclusive right to use it and prevent others from using it without his authorisation.
By "use of a design or model" we mean all activities related to manufacturing, offer, marketing and use of the same.

Extension of an italian design to individual foreign countries or through the arrangement of The Hague

In order to protect a design abroad, you must file specific registration applications, country by country. For those foreign states that have entered multinational agreements, a single registration application can be filed to protect the model in the states that have signed the agreement.

There are two procedures for the centralized filing of a design, i.e.:

the community registration
the international registration according to the cumulative procedure in compliance with The Hague International Convention
