Design Law

Design law is a complex area of intellectual property which, in addition to requiring a thorough knowledge of the pertinent legislation (about trademarks, patents, designs, the arts, unfair competition), also demands a specific expertise in design. Indeed, a lawyer experienced in design law must necessarily be familiar with the principles of product aesthetics in each of the industrial sectors concerned.

We provide strategic advice on the protection of design projects. We also assist companies and professionals in litigation concerning design projects or products. As design is the outward appearance that gives value to an object, we focus mainly on the following areas:

• Furniture design (furniture products);
• Fashion design (clothing, accessories, prints);
• Housewares and kitchenware;
• Web design (Apps and Websites);
• Graphic design (Logos, Icons, Presentations, etc.);
• Jewellery, watch and costume jewellery design;
• Retail design (Format or design of fittings for shop networks).

As a general rule, the legal protection of Design requires the registration of products deemed new. The defence of creativity and investments, made by both designers and companies, is at the heart of design law.
