Service description

This comprehensive service covers all aspects related to industrial designs and is tailored for EIC beneficiaries seeking to protect distinctive signs. DT&P's attorneys and design consultants provide direct assistance with Italian, EU, and international designs, supported by a global network of foreign associates. 
Key services include: I) Prior art searches to assess registrability and usage by examining national and international Intellectual Property Office databases. These searches identify identical or competitor-registered designs, offering valuable insights to inform commercial strategies and guard against third-party infringements. II) Risk analysis to evaluate potential market risks, such as infringement or counterfeiting, enabling cost assessment and the development of exit strategies to safeguard investments and competitive positions. III) Design registration and management support, including drafting, filing, and registering designs in selected jurisdictions, as well as advising on acquisition, sale, or licencing transactions, with emphasis on novelty and protection against infringement. IV) Counterfeiting protection and enforcement, offering strategic defence of intellectual property rights, assistance in dispute resolution, and pursuit of damages for industrial rights violations through legal proceedings.
