Design Rights

There can appear to be a bewildering array of registered and unregistered designs, both at national and European Union level.

We can advise on the extent to which your designs may qualify for protection under one or all of these rights and for how long each right will remain protected.

Where you are bringing new products to the market and are wanting to rely on registered design right protection, it is important to ensure you take early legal advice on how the right should be registered and how you can avoid inadvertently preventing your registration from being accepted.

If you are threatened with a claim for design right infringement, we can advise on the merits of that claim and on the ways you can defend such a claim in correspondence or the court.

‘A small firm which punches well above its weight’ GSC Solicitors LLP undertook leasing transactions for several blue-chip corporate tenants, particularly in the media sector. It acted for a number of hotel owners regarding the acquisition and development of new hotels.

“We have found the service excellent, and it is for this reason we have continued to use GSC. The key strengths for us have been a commercial approach to deals that is often missing from solicitors, and a personal service based on a knowledge of us and our needs and long-term plans.”

“The main positive comparison we have noted from GSC is the personal touch and commercial acumen.”

“We have often used different legal firms for IP and other work in the past, but GSC’s commercial approach and professionalism, coupled with the excellent working relationship we have built up over a number of years makes it our preferred choice.”

“As a Financial Advisor I have been personally using and recommending GSC for over thirty years. I have referred clients of mine to them and only ever been thanked for the recommendation, which should convey the confidence I have in the individuals, and the firm.”

“Great result today. Just wanted to say thank you for your continued hard work in fighting our corner on this case. You have both been amazing. Michael incredible support and good ideas.”
