Designs
An industrial drawing or model (design) refers to the decorative or aesthetic aspect of a product. Unlike patents, which prioritise the functional or technical features of an invention, with a design the emphasis is placed upon the visual appearance of the product.
Therefore, securing the adequate design protection is fundamental for those companies looking to shield their creations against third party misappropriation and copying, as well as gaining profitability from the effort invested in their development.
Designs can be three-dimensional in nature (the shape, texture or surface of an object), or two-dimensional (patterns, lines or colours).
At PONTI & PARTNERS we advise and assist our clients throughout the entire process of protection and defence of their industrial designs, from start to finish.
