Practice areas
Design is creative and multidisciplinary and design protection demands deep experience and a thoughtful approach. At DesignLaw Group, our expertise is well established and our practice continues at the forefront of design law.
Design Patent
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues patents for designs under 35 U.S.C. 171 to whoever invents any new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture. The subject matter of a design patent application may relate to the configuration or shape of an article, to the surface ornamentation applied to an article, or to the combination of configuration and surface ornamentation. Internationally, countries and organizations offer design protection through registrations or patents.
We work with applicants to protect all types of designs across the globe.
Trademark
Trademarks vitally designate the source of products and brands and permeate global commerce and culture.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and foreign trademark offices register word marks, stylized marks, logo marks, design marks, color marks, trade dress, product configurations and packaging and other source designating marks.
We work with applicants to protect all types of trademarks across the globe.
Copyright
The United States Copyright Office registers works of visual arts including a wide variety of pictorial, graphical, sculptural and architectural works. When evaluating registration of a useful article, the Copyright Office looks for original expression which is separable form the purpose-driven shape of the article.
Enforcement
We help applicants secure design rights globally through patents, registrations and contracts and enforce their rights against infringement by negotiation and coordinating takedown and litigation.
