Frequently Asked Questions
What are design rights?
Design rights protect the unique visual appearance of a product—its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. These rights ensure that no other party can copy or use your design without permission.
What design-related IPs can be protected?
Design protection typically covers the aesthetic aspects of physical products. It includes packaging, furniture, tools, technology devices, jewelry, and even graphical user interfaces (GUIs), depending on the jurisdiction.
Brealant reviews each country’s IP rules to confirm your design qualifies and helps verify that the filing covers the correct scope.
What are the benefits of registering a design?
Design registration gives you the exclusive legal right to use, license, or act against unauthorized copies of your design. It adds value to your business assets, strengthens your market position, and deters infringement.
Brealant’s registration process makes it easy to protect your design efficiently across multiple countries without the high legal overhead.
What’s the design registration process?
The registration of industrial design typically involves the following steps:
1. Check Eligibility – Before applying, search relevant national or international design databases (such as those provided by local intellectual property offices or WIPO’s Hague Express) to confirm that your design is new and distinctive.
2. File an Application – Submit an application to the appropriate intellectual property office. This usually requires clear visual representations of your would-be registered industrial design and the correct classification of the product it relates to.
3. Formalities Examination – The intellectual property office reviews your application to ensure it complies with all filing requirements and formalities.
4. Registration – If your application meets all formal requirements, your design is registered and published in the official records. However, filings, such as industrial design registration, alone may not automatically grant you the right to enforce your design.
5. Substantive Examination or Certification – In many jurisdictions, you must request a substantive examination to certify that your design is novel and distinctive. Certification is often required before you can take legal action against potential infringers.
Brealant guides you through each stage for accurate classification, correct filings, and timely certification requests.
What are my rights and obligations as a design owner?
Once your design is registered, you hold exclusive rights to use, manufacture, and license it within the country of registration. You’re also responsible for enforcing those rights and renewing the registration before it expires.
Brealant helps you stay on top of deadlines, renewals, and legal obligations to ensure continued protection and compliance.
