INDUSTRIAL DESIGN REGISTRATION

The protection of designs and models protects «the appearance of a product or part thereof as it results in particular from the characteristics of the lines, contours, colours, shape, surface structure and/or materials of the product itself and/or its ornamentation».

Registering a design provides two strategic advantages. First, it grants an exclusive aesthetic right over the product that can be enforced in Italy, throughout the European Union (via the Registered Community Design) or, through the WIPO Hague System, in numerous non-EU jurisdictions. Second, a registered title increases enterprise value: it can be capitalised on the balance-sheet and benefits from fiscal incentives such as Italy’s enlarged Patent-Box regime, which extends super-deductions to registered designs and models.
