Protecting Your Designs

Protect against imitations of your design

Registering your design will protect the look of its physical form or features and gives you a monopoly in that design.  This enables you to take action against imitation and copying.

Sanderson & Co. offers affordable design registration services for the UK and world-wide, for individuals and businesses of all sizes, to give the right to pursue producers or importers of imitations of your product.

Consumers often buy a product simply for the way it looks and so other manufacturers are often quick to pick up on fashion and style trends.

If you think your product has a look that everyone will want, or which adds value in other ways, you could be at risk of having it copied.  This could affect your revenue – but a design registration for that product could assist in keeping potential imitators at bay.

Sanderson & Co. can also help ensure that you or your company are not unwittingly infringing someone else’s design registration, before you spend money marketing your goods. You may be under the impression that your design is original but if you have thought of it, so too may someone else.
