Patents

A patent is the right granted to a patent holder, for a limited period, to exclude others from commercially exploiting his invention without his authorisation. It is the best way of protecting technological innovation.

Design

Design protection covers the ornamental or aesthetic appearance of a product, a part of a product or an ornament. The technical function of a product is not included in the protection, it can instead be protected by means of a patent.

An industrial design may consist of three-dimensional features, such as the shape of an article, or two dimensional features, such as patterns, lines or colors.

Trademarks

A trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises.  This sign may encompass one or more words or letters or numbers, a shape, or a combination thereof. It is also possible, in some cases, to register colors, slogans and melodies as trademarks.
