Registered Designs

What is a registered design?

A registered design allows you to legally protect the unique look of a product you’ve designed to stop other individuals or businesses from copying it without your permission.


You can own the exclusive right to the:

 

  • Appearance
  • Physical shape
  • Configuration (or how different parts of a design are arranged together)
  • Decoration

 

Why register my designs?


  • Protects any aspect of your design, for example both the product’s shape and decoration.


  • Recognised by Amazon and other online retail platforms.


  • The right to prevent others from copying without your permission.


  • Makes taking legal action against infringement and copying more straightforward.



  • Once registered you can display your registration number on your design.

 

What can I register as a design?

To register your design, it must

 

  • Be new.


  • Be non-offensive (for example feature graphic images or words).


  • Be your own intellectual property


  • Not make use of protected emblems or flags (for example the Olympic rings or the Royal Crown).


  • Not be an invention or how a product works - you’ll need a patent instead.


  • You cannot protect the functionality of a design - for example a chair that folds down more quickly than others of the same kind.
