In an economy where aesthetics are an important part of a product’s appeal to consumers, the industrial design takes on its full meaning.
Industrial designs offer a means to:
- Stake a clear claim to your creation’s origin
- Ensure visibility for your products, distinguishing them from rival products and enhancing their market value
- Convey a positive corporate image
- Enjoy exclusive rights to the use of your creation for a minimum of ten years
- Extend those exclusive rights to other countries
- Protect your research and development investments, by prosecuting anyone who copies your design without permission
- Generate income by exploiting the design directly or allowing others to exploit it commercially under license
