Design & Copyright

An application for a Community registered design may be filed by any natural or legal person and can include more than one design if the products to which the design is primarily intended to be applied are within the same classification.

In order to put an application on file at the Community Design Office (OHIM) and establish a filing date we would look to receive the following:

• Full name and address of applicant(s)
• At least one representation of each design
• An indication of the product to which each design is intended to be applied
• Confirmation as to whether deferred publication is required
• Number, country and date of priority application (if applicable)

In due course, to complete the filing requirements we will need:

• Identification of the designer or team of designers
• Certified copy of priority document and verified translation (if applicable)

The earlier this information is supplied however, the quicker the application can proceed.
