Design Protection

What is copyright design?

Designs, like all written, painted or photographed production, is considered as intellectual work that can be protected under copyright, called "copyright" outside the United States. The design aims to combine aesthetics and functionality and concerns everyday objects by both their shape and appearance. The copyright design serves to protect both the creator of the object, the model and the design. The design protection is done through the Code of Intellectual Property and the Code of Industrial Property.

Source Code Protection?

There are different ways of design protection. This protection concerns the design and the model. The term "design" englobes all 2 dimension productions. To file a model or drawing, you need to go to private companies, like QIBLE for example. The condition for ensuring design protection is the originality and uniqueness of the design or pattern. It should be noted that to the aesthetic dimension of the object its functional and industrial dimensión is added. These aspects all come into play in design protection. The duration of this protection is 25 years. In addition, the creation of the design of an object confers on its creator copyrights by the very fact of creation. Submiting a template is therefore essential because the copyright design will protect the creation of the author.

What are the remedies in case of design or model plagiarism?

Design protection makes it possible to defend against copies called counterfeits. It also helps to deal with unfair competition. To file a model is thus indispensable and allows to prosecute a criminal and civil counterfeiter. Counterfeiting is punishable by 150,000 euros with two years' imprisonment.
