International Design Registration

• International Design Registration

  Design registrations are granted by the Patent or Designs Offices of individual countries.

  Australian design protection, therefore, does not extend beyond Australia. Consequently, it is necessary to file design applications in other countries if overseas design protection is required. Overseas design applications are usually filed on a country-by-country basis. However, the European community can be covered by a single community design registration.

  International design applications can claim priority from an Australian design application but the application must be filed within six months of the filing date of the Australian design application.
