Designs

An industrial design constitutes the outer appearance of the whole or part of a product characterized by its lines, contours, colors, texture and/or materials of the product itself and/or its ornamentation. An industrial design may consist of 3D features, such as the shape of an article, or 2D features, such as patterns, lines or color.

Attractively designed products & packaging are both more appealing and more visible in the marketplace. Many functionally similar products compete today on the basis of their visual allure and a combination of trademark and design often underpins brand loyalty.

Our services involve a range of activities aimed at protecting and enforcing the rights associated with the unique visual aspects of a product & packaging.
