Effectively protect design work
against unwanted imitations.
An appealing design often leads to an increased incentive for customers to buy. However, an appealing design can also embody a good reputation or signal high quality. Design therefore plays an important role in competition. As a successful design is naturally highlighted, it is particularly susceptible to imitation.
Against this background, it is particularly important to effectively protect design achievements against unwanted imitations. Modern design law (Design Act in Germany and Community Design Regulation for the European Union) offers numerous opportunities to obtain very broad design protection through a clever application strategy.
Under certain circumstances, design protection can also be considered without registration (unregistered Community designs, competition law, copyright). Design protection has played a special role in our firm for decades. Several thousand registered designs and models and several hundred out-of-court disputes and design protection proceedings have led to a wealth of experience in this area of law. You can contact us with any questions relating to design protection.
