Design protection provides protection for the shape and appearance of a product that is not technically dependent.

A product’s design is often the first thing that meets the eye (and the gut feeling) of a potential customer. Many companies today stand out thanks to a unique design language rather than technical advantages.

Design is often a major contributing factor in building a strong brand and should therefore be treated as the asset it is. There are different types of design protection, registered and unregistered, and these are best suited to different types of design. Active protection allows you to take action against plagiarists and rogue competitors.

Design protection can also be used in combination with, for example, patents to protect a whole and help gain market share.
By guarding and protecting your design against infringement, you secure your rights.

Copyright gives creators and authors rights over their works. Copyright applies to different types of works, including literary, artistic, musical and audiovisual works. Copyright automatically protects your creative works as soon as they are created and fixed in a “sufficiently tangible form”.

This means that you don’t need to apply for copyright or register your works to get protection. However, you do need to be aware of, and protect, your rights.

These rights include, among others:

• The right to create and control the work
• Protection against unauthorized use
• Economic rights

By monitoring, and thus protecting your work against infringement, you secure your rights. If you also want to allow others to use or license your work in a controlled manner, there are good reasons to contact us at Bergenstråhle.
