Registered designs protect your products from plagiarism for up to 25 years. Our patent and trade mark attorneys prepare your design application with a forward-looking view of novelty, individual character and scope of protection.

However, these are not examined by the DPMA (German Patent and Trade Mark Office) or EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) when the application is filed, so that the enforceability of an unexamined IP right only becomes apparent in the event of a dispute in court. By having your product design examined by a lawyer in advance, you can avoid expensive legal disputes and protect your product design in the long term.
