OHIM - Designs
Outward appearance, as specified in a design, plays a very important role in the distinctiveness and value of products. As a result, organisations are increasingly choosing to protect their design rights by registering them. Rights owners can choose between various national and international routes to protection and the registered Community design (RCD), administered by OHIM, has been available since 2003 to cover all 27 member states in the European Union in a single application. To date, OHIM has received and registered around 460 000 designs and this is increasing at a rate of about 75 000 a year. Registering an RCD is an inexpensive, fast and uncomplicated process. More than 40% of designs are now being registered within one week.WIPO GOLD est une ressource publique gratuite permettant d’accéder directement aux collections mondiales de données relatives à la propriété intellectuelle de l’OMPI.
