Registered design protection can be a formidable weapon against competitor encroachment. Unlike copyright, registered design protection can be infringed where a competitor arrives at a similar design independently, without copying. The potential advantages in enforcement make registered designs an attractive means of protecting new product features and ornamentation.
Our team of Patent Attorney and Registered Trade Mark and Design Litigators is experienced in handling enforcement matters before the courts, as well as in resolving them before trial through pre-action correspondence, negotiations and mediation.
