Design
We handle a full range of proceedings before the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) as well as before the Polish Patent Office (PPO). We offer:
- filling and representation of design applications before the EUIPO and the PPO
- filing and representation of design invalidation proceedings
- negotiations throughout the proceedings

REGISTERED COMMUNITY DESIGN
Proceedings before EUIPO allow for the quick registration of trademarks within the territory of the entire European Union. The procedure is comprised of a straightforward formalities check and a registration that is to be completed within 1-2 weeks after filing.
The following documents are necessary for registering a community design:
- Applicant details
- Designer details (optional)
- Priority details (if any)
- Representation of the design (in form of one or more photographs or drawings, black-and-white or color, showing the characteristic features of the design)
NATIONAL POLISH DESIGNS
The procedure before the Polish Patent Office is comprised only of a formalities check – there is no substantive examination of a design. However, the proceedings before the PPO are quite longer than this before the EUIPO. The PPO issue a decision granting the protection and it is necessary to pay the grant fee. It’s also important to ensure the registration is completed within 1-3 months after filing.
The following documents are necessary for registering a community design:
- Applicant details and entitlement to claim ownership of the design, i.e. by virtue of the law/by virtue of the assignment
- Designer details
- Priority details (if any)
- Representation of the design (in form of one or more photographs or drawings, black-and-white or color, showing the characteristic features of the design)
