International Industrial Design Registration

International industrial design registration protects the appearance, aesthetic features, and functionality of a product. The registration gives the design owner the right to prevent unauthorized use. International industrial design registration is the procedure for securing this protection at the global level. Sistem Patent provides professional counsel and support services for international industrial design registration.

What Is International Industrial Design Registration?

International industrial design registration is a system for protecting your designs worldwide. It extends your design rights, which are valid in specific countries, and helps you gain a competitive edge in the global market. Sistem Patent guides you through international industrial design registration and manages every step professionally.

Types of International Industrial Design Registration

Hague System: The Hague System, run under the Hague Agreement, is administered by WIPO (the World Intellectual Property Organization) and lets you register your designs in multiple countries with a single application. The system makes the filing and registration tracking much easier.

Registered Community Design (RCD): Valid across EU countries, this registration system protects your design in all EU member states. Sistem Patent provides professional support on RCD applications, giving you effective protection in the European market.

National registration: To protect your design in specific countries, you need to file with each country's own patent and trademark office. The process varies by country. Sistem Patent prepares the required documents for your national registration applications and streamlines the filing process.

Regional registration systems: Run by specific regional organizations, these systems offer registration valid across several countries. The African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO) and the Benelux Design Registration, for example, provide design protection within their regions.
