Grant Spencer’s design advice will help you determine whether rights might exist for a particular product and whether these would be enforceable in the UK, across the Community, or worldwide.

Registration protects the appearance of the product or part of it, but what is registrable will depend on what is new and what is not. We can guide you through the process of determining what can be protected and then take steps to safeguard your rights.

This includes guidance on the benefits and rights attached to registration and on possible remedial action in the event of third-party infringement. We can also advise on and arrange assignments and licences.

Our services extend to advice on Registered Designs and Design Right in the UK and the Community, and equivalent rights around the world.
