Design Registration

Protect Your Unique Look

Overview

Design Registration protects the external visual features of an article, including its shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation or composition of lines and colours. Our IPR Attorney provides complete Design search, Design Registration, prosecution, cancellation and enforcement services.

Logo Design

Design Registration can protect the visual, artistic configuration of a logo — distinct from Trademark protection, which covers a logo's role as a brand identifier. Many businesses benefit from both forms of protection working together, and choosing the right one (or both) starts with understanding what each actually covers.

Who This Matters Most For

  • You want design-level protection for a distinctive graphic logo shape alongside or instead of trademark protection
  • Your packaging features a novel logo placement or three-dimensional design element
  • You're unsure whether your logo needs Trademark, Design, or Copyright protection — or a combination

Our IPR Attorney assists with:

  • Trademark vs. Design vs. Copyright qualification assessment
  • Logo Design registrability evaluation
  • Preparation of visual representations for Design filing
  • Design application filing for qualifying logos
  • Coordination with Trademark and Copyright protection where dual coverage applies
  • Applicant and artwork documentation support
