Design Attorney
in Marseille
Design law protects the appearance of a product or part of a product. The protection of a design is acquired by registration with the INPI (France) or the European Union Office for Intellectual Property (EUIPO) and provides the holder an exclusive right. European Union law has created two other independent design titles valid within the European Union, one registered with EUIPO and one unregistered. Moreover, at the international level, the registration procedure is centralized with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and ensures the protection of titles abroad. All these titles are acquired without prejudice to other forms of protection available under domestic law. France's international obligations with regard to designs are rooted in the Paris Union Convention, the Berne Convention, the Hague Agreement and the Agreement on Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Affecting to trade (TRIPS).
