EU-Design

Community design

Community design law recognizes a registered Community design and an unregistered Community design valid for three years. The Community design is valid throughout the European Union.

The Community design has the same protective effects as the German design, only with a territorially larger area.

For example, an unregistered Community design can be documented and proven by a national German design. Thus, with a German design you automatically receive Community protection for three years also by the unregistered Community design.
