"We understand the importance of showing the unique look and feel of your product to the world"

One of our staff members can be appointed as your expert design attorney, available to assist you in your national/European/international search, filing, examination, protection and enforcement requirements of your designs.

We offer a package approach for filing design patent applications. Our unique concept is to apply a single fee and invoice covering the preparation and filing of the various formalities required by the respective national offices where design protection is required.
