The visual characteristics of a product make it more attractive to potential buyers, and as such, design contributes to the product&#8217;s market success. By protecting your industrial design, you gain the exclusive right to use it and the right to prohibit third parties from unauthorized use, copying, or imitation.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW84965347 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"TextRun SCXW144853172 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW144853172 BCX8\">What is <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW144853172 BCX8\">i<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW144853172 BCX8\">ndustrial <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW144853172 BCX8\">d<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW144853172 BCX8\">esign<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW144853172 BCX8\">?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW144853172 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In everyday language, when we say that a product is well-designed, we usually refer to its external appearance.

For instance, if a third party obligated to confidentiality makes the design public, it would still not be considered publicly available.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Newness is one of the two main criteria for the protection of industrial design rights, so the design mustn&#8217;t become publicly available before registration. Some jurisdictions allow a &#8220;grace period,&#8221; meaning that registration is possible within 6 to 12 months of the design being made public (see the above-mentioned provision of our law).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This grace period concept is useful when a product with a certain industrial design is exhibited at fairs or events or published in catalogs and brochures. The grace period ensures that the industrial design does not lose its novelty during that time, although it still does not grant exclusive design rights.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A certain degree of caution is required since not all legal systems offer this possibility, so it is generally advisable to keep industrial designs secret as long as possible. Designers who reveal their designs to third parties before registration often resort to confidentiality agreements, specifying that knowledge of the industrial design constitutes a trade secret.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">You can find basic information about confidentiality agreements in this <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/vraneseviclaw.com\/en\/non-disclosure-agreement\/\"><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">article<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"TextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">What <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">d<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">oes <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">i<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">t <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">me<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">an for an <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">i<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">ndustrial <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">d<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">esign to <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">h<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">ave <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">i<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">ndividual <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">c<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35761622 BCX8\">haracter?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW35761622 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">An industrial design is considered to have individual character if the overall impression it gives to an informed user differs from the overall impression any other design, made publicly available before the filing date or recognized priority date, would give.
