Industrial Design Registration in Spain

An industrial design protects the external appearance of a product or of a part of it, provided that it is new and has individual character. It makes it possible to protect elements such as shape, lines, contours, colours, texture or ornamentation, granting its owner the exclusive right of exploitation.

A product’s design is often one of the main factors influencing the purchase decision. Registering an industrial design prevents third parties from copying or marketing products with an identical or similar appearance, strengthening brand identity and increasing the value of the company. It also facilitates commercial exploitation, licensing and expansion into new markets with greater legal certainty. We manage registered Community designs and international applications through the Hague System, covering more than 165 countries. If you also want to protect the name of your product, take a look at our trademark registration.

Process for Registering Your Industrial Design

A clear and transparent procedure to protect your industrial design.

Registering an industrial design goes far beyond submitting a few images. It is essential to define correctly which elements should be protected, how to represent them and what the most suitable strategy is to obtain solid and effective protection. A mistake in the application can reduce the scope of the rights obtained or make them harder to defend against third parties. At PREMARK we analyse each design individually and devise the best strategy to protect it both in Spain and internationally.
