PROTECTING YOUR BRAND

Registered Design

Protect a design

A registered design may become essential to your business in the future and save a lot of headaches down the road.

Design registration protects the look, shape, configuration or ornamentation of products

If you are unsure regarding anything to do with registered designs our expert team with over 39 years’ brand protection experience are on hand to advise.

Search

This is the first step to getting your registered design. Novelty searches are required to ensure your intended design isn’t infringing on any existing registrations and should be done before trying to register your mark.

Register

The next step is to register. Registered designs protect your IP with the option to renew every 5 years for up to 25 years total. Our team are on hand for any and all questions throughout the process.

Watch

Our Watching Searches ensure that any new applications are monitored, and if any pending applications look to be too similar to, copy, or imitate your design, we can notify you and take action in time to prevent a registration from being completed.

Setting your business apart

Register your design/s sets you apart from your competitors and helps you stand out in a crowded market. When you have a registered design, it shows customers and potential partners that you are a credible and legitimate business. It also gives you the legal right to take action against anyone who imitates your design without your permission.

Potential buyers may be more likely to invest in a business that has a protected brand, identity and design/s as they know they are getting a unique and established product or service others cannot imitate.
