About this service
Design protection looks at the overall impression a product makes on an informed user. We compare the designs side by side, consider the product type and how much freedom the designer had, and tell you where the strong and the weak points lie.
What is included
- A comparison of the registered design with the product, view by view
- A look at earlier designs that might limit the scope of protection
- A written analysis of how likely a clash is
- The practical options: talk, write to the other side, adjust the product, or act through a partner
