If it’s yours, protect it.
If your startup created a product with a unique design, like packaging, a device or a piece of furniture, registering that design can make the difference between growing with peace of mind and losing ground to imitators.
Here are five reasons to register it now:
01Exclusivity in the market
You have the legal right to stop others from copying your design for up to 25 years. It’s yours. End of story.
02A more valuable product
An attractive design sells more. And when it’s protected, it keeps away those who only want to copy.
03A real barrier against copies
With registration, you can take legal action against copies, including on marketplaces. We’ve seen clients increase their revenue simply by stopping competitors from selling similar products.
04A strategic asset for investors
A registered design shows that your company doesn’t only create: it also protects what it builds. That builds trust and increases value in the eyes of potential investors.

05New revenue through licensing
With a registered design, you can license it to other companies. That opens the door to strategic partnerships and new revenue streams.
