What is an industrial design?
What can be protected with an industrial design?
A Design protects the aesthetic appearance of a product, including its defining characteristics such as lines, contour, shape, colors, texture or materials. A request can include up to 50 related designs.
For each Layout, up to seven different views can be provided, including a perspective of the product along with its main elevation, back elevation, top floor, bottom floor, left side view, and right side view.
Protected products must be classified according to the Locarno Classification, which
establishes 32 different classes of products. Designs can only be protected in a single class related to the product in question.
