UK Design Registration
Protect Your Product Designs in the United Kingdom
The appearance of your product can be one of your business's most valuable competitive advantages. Whether you are launching a new product, expanding into the UK market or protecting innovative designs from unauthorised copying, registering your design provides valuable legal rights.
A UK Registered Design protects the visual appearance of a product, including its shape, configuration, lines, colours, ornamentation and surface decoration.
At IP Meridian, we provide practical legal advice on UK Design Registration before the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) while helping businesses develop coordinated design protection strategies across the European Union, Poland and international markets.
As a Qualified Polish Patent & Trademark Attorney and UK Solicitor, we provide a single trusted adviser for businesses seeking cross-border intellectual property protection.
