Design is a very limited and very precise area of law, therefore informed and intelligent filing strategies are essential. If your company needs to protect the visual shape, design or ornamentation of its product within the Irish and European markets, you need our expert knowledge and swift, cost-effective application and registration systems.
Major corporates have shown the vast potential to be tapped from design rights, and now every brand-aware company knows the value and opportunity represented by a design monopoly. In a brand-led economy, your products’ distinguishing characteristics need to be protected to enable a full return on your investment. This is what we are concerned with at Cruickshank: to copperfasten your right to your company’s designs and ensure there are no imitators profiting from your good ideas. We do this by advising you on the specific filing strategies for your particular product(s) and enacting these filing strategies at Irish and European levels, as required.
In Ireland, registration affords protected status to a design for an initial period of five years, which may be extended by four further periods of five years upon payment of renewal fees. We can advise on your application requirements, filing strategies and provide guidance over the medium and longer terms to safeguard your commercial returns. We are also fully conversant with the various requirements and registrations needed to register your design within the European Union, and can guide you accordingly.
