Industrial Design

Protect your work, ideas and individual design

The design and external appearance of products is very important, especially when making choices by customers, as well as in the process of shaping the market position and creating a competitive advantage over competitors.

The MJW Law Firm provides comprehensive services in the field of registration of industrial designs in Poland, the European Union and any patent offices around the world. In addition, we advise on how to effectively and efficiently use the rights from the registration of industrial designs in the implementation of business and marketing strategies.

Registration of an industrial design brings many benefits, on the one hand it leads to an increase in competitiveness and the creation of a modern, trend-setting image on the market, and on the other hand, it is a tool that allows you to properly protect the design against copying and counterfeiting.

Industrial design

1. Monopoly

Obtaining the right from registration for an industrial design guarantees the right to exclusive use of the design for profit or professional purposes in Poland.

2. Protection period

25 years from the date of filing the application with the Patent Office, divided into five-year periods

3. You can register

The external appearance of the product is protected, not the product itself, thus, for example, the features of lines, contours, shapes, ornamentation, colors, texture or material of the product.

4. Important!

You will receive an industrial design registration certificate as an official confirmation of granting the right.

What is registered as industrial designs?

Various products can be registered as industrial designs, for example furniture, electrical appliances, watches, jewelery, toys, sports equipment, household goods, technical and medical instruments, textiles, cars and their components, or architectural structures. Patterns play a particularly important role in relation to packaging, containers and interior design, and even in relation to graphic signs (two-dimensional patterns).

Can an industrial design be registered only in Poland?

Not. We can also register an industrial design in other countries. For example, it is also possible to register an industrial design under the Community procedure and thus ensure its protection in all EU Member States.
