Registered and unregistered design protection
Designs and drawings may be supplement to / or a direct product of a business. For example, a business could sell a product which is based on a design or the manufacturing tools used to produce a particular product as the result of a specific design.
Once a design is recorded it will attract protection as a design right, albeit as an unregistered design right. There are also registered design rights which attract wider protection.
Our team is able to offer advice in relation to both unregistered and registered design rights. We can advise you on the existence and ownership of a design right and the extent of any associated protection. We offer a comprehensive service which includes the filing of the necessary documentation with the relevant authorities to ensure full recorded protection.
We can also advise you on the methods available to exploit this right including licencing arrangements. Contact us to implement the best possible structure to maximise your revenue from your design right.
