EU Design Package

Industrial design protection The design of a product is often the main reason that consumers chose it over others. Industrial design rights protect the appearance of a product, which results from attributes such as its shape, colours or materials. The EU has harmonised industrial design protection across EU countries and introduced the Community design that offers unitary protection across the EU through a single procedure.

Le 28 novembre 2022, la Commission a adopté deux propositions (paquet) visant à moderniser la législation sur la protection des dessins et modèles.

PROPOSITION Directive sur la protection juridiques des dessins et modèles (refonte) et annexes

PROPOSITION Règlement sur les dessins et modèles communautaires et annexes
