  1. Factors to Keep in Mind While European Design Filing European design is an exclusive right which is used for protection of any 2 or 3- dimensional design of a product wherein the particular features such as lines, colors, contours, shapes, texture, and materials are visible. People who have opted for European design patent hold exclusive right over the usage of design and thereby prevents any other party of using the same anywhere else within the European Union. The European design patent provides cover to the making, marketing, exporting, importing or usage of a product in which the design is incorporated or applied. It also protects the design against imitation as well as the development of similar designs by any 3rd party. There are a number of requirements for European Design Filing. Factors to Consider While Opting for European Design Filing Any registered company can file a European design patent for protecting their designs. Many times people make some mistakes while loading designs, which can be avoided while opting for European Design Filing. Taking the help of experienced patent attorneys such as Valet Patent Services can make things easier for you when opting for patent filing. There are 3 stages during the online application process where mistakes can happen: 1. Uploading Views While submitting designs, it is important that there shouldn’t be any discrepancy in submitting designs. Factors to consider in this case include: · All views of the design must correspond to one and the same design. · Any extra element which is not the part of the design (explanatory notes, arrows, numbers, etc.) should not be included.

  2. · The design must be represented in a neutral background. · Only a single view of the design must be given in a single image. · The color must be consistent in each view. · Any magnified view should be uploaded separately. · Any visual disclaimer, if used, must be consistently showed in all views. · One view must show the set of articles or the complex product as a whole. · The representation of the product must correspond with the representation of the design. · The product indication should be specific to allow them to be classified in one class and subclass of Locarno Classification. 2. Claiming priority A person who opts for national, international European Design Filing has a right of priority for 6 months from date of 1st filing of the application. 3. Asking for deferment The publication can be deferred for a period of 30 months. For more information, visit: http://www.valetpatentservices.com/eu-patent-design-filings/
