Designs

We work with our clients to design strategies that best protect shape creations in Spain and elsewhere, sometimes combining the Spanish, European and international design registration systems so as to minimise costs.

We produce viability studies on design registration and potential infringement. We engage in a dialogue with our clients to consider the available options to avoid infringing third party rights. We prepare applications to register designs and follow the procedure through to final registration.

We protect decorative innovation.

We watch over your designs by detecting third-party registration applications, and advise on issues such as the modification, validity and infringement of your designs. We file administrative opposition motions, and applications for nullity and exploration. We initiate proceedings in the appropriate forums to defend our clients’ designs.

We advise our clients on how to exploit their designs by drafting and negotiating licensing contracts.
