Industrial Design Registration

Industrial design registration is an intellectual property right that legally protects the appearance of a product or part of a product resulting from features such as lines, colours, shape, form, texture or material. Protection is conditional upon the appearance being new and having individual character.

Design registration protects a product's appearance rather than its function. Before filing, we assess whether the design is new and has individual character, and we prepare the images and description in a registrable form. Correct visual presentation is critical to clearly defining the scope of protection. We carry out the application, publication and registration stages with our expert team.

The appearance of your product is a commercial value that directly influences customer choice. A registered design grants the right to prevent the unauthorised production and sale of products with an identical or notably similar appearance. In sectors where appearance is prominent, such as textiles, furniture, packaging, jewellery and consumer goods, design registration becomes decisive in competition.

At Yedi Kıta Patent, we provide design registration not only domestically but also abroad through our representatives worldwide. We facilitate the protection of exporting companies' product designs in target markets. With our 20 years of experience, we stand by you in every stage, from application to registration and from opposition to the fight against imitation.

After registration, we provide protection through legal monitoring against imitation and infringement attempts targeting your design. This way the design, the product of your effort and investment, is placed under legal assurance.
