Get StartedOverview
Design registration protects the visual appearance of a product including its shape, pattern, configuration, or ornamentation under the Designs Act. It helps B2B businesses secure exclusive rights over the aesthetic features of their product design, turning visual appeal into a formal IP asset.
The process demands meticulous attention to detail, from preparing technical drawings that reveal all perspectives to categorizing the product under the correct Locarno classification. FylFlix serves as your dedicated compliance partner, assisting in documentation, filing, and ongoing status tracking to ensure your designs remain safely protected against unauthorized replication.
