Protecting your Industrial Designs
Transcript
Lines, colors and three dimensional forms: these are the DNA of industrial designs, the ornamental aspect of an object. They combine to form the building block of many of the products we buy, use and encounter in day-to-day life. From the watch on your wrist to life-saving MRI machines, you will find designs everywhere.
And did you know that designs are a form of intellectual property? This means they have economic value beyond their creative and lifestyle appeal. As a creator, you can protect your designs as you would any type of intellectual property, like patents and trademarks. Doing so keeps others from using, copying or making money from your product without your permission.
If you have an industrial design, seeking protection for your work is a wise move. To help you do this, the World Intellectual Property Organization runs a cost-effective system that makes the process easier. The Hague System, as it is known, provides you with a global filing solution that saves you time and money. It is a simple and all-inclusive process that will protect your industrial designs in your home country, in your region and internationally.
As the rights holder, it offers you extensive coverage of your industrial designs in close to a hundred countries. That means less time and money spent on protecting your designs and more resources spent on perfecting and marketing your product.
Your industrial designs are valuable. Protect them by applying through WIPO's Hague System.
