If you are active in fashion, furniture, jewellery or consumer products or are a designer or product developer you probably have designs or drawings you want to protect against counterfeiting. Examples include the shape of a chair, a unique textile pattern or the specific design of packaging. Design registration gives you exclusive rights to your designs.<\/p>\n
