TRADEMARKS CREATE VALUES

DESIGNS PROTECT THE APPEARANCE OF PRODUCTS 

Designs protect the appearance of the whole or a part of a product. Any design of an industrial or hand-crafted product, including the packaging, can be protected with design rights, provided it is not already on the market and is different from other products. That means that a design has to be new. Images and trademarks can also be protected. Be it Austrian registered designs, Community designs or international designs – we advise you in regard to your filing strategy, create drawings for optimum protection of your design, and manage your portfolio.
