Is your design new? Are you free to use it?
If someone else has registered a design, and you produce something which is similar in appearance to that registered design, then you could be sued for infringement.
You will therefore need searches to determine whether similar designs have been registered, and professional advice on just what “similar” means in the circumstances – is there a risk of infringement?
We can arrange for specialist searches to be carried out, and can advise on all aspects of design protection and infringement. Please contact us for details on search costs and timescales.
