Hague Agreement

The Hague Agreement refers to a set of international treaties aimed at simplifying the process for protecting designs and patents across multiple countries. Established by the Hague Convention, it allows creators or businesses to file a single application to register their designs in multiple member countries, rather than applying individually in each country. This streamlines the legal process and reduces costs, making it easier for designers and businesses to safeguard their intellectual property on a global scale. The Agreement is crucial for fostering international trade and innovation by protecting creativity worldwide.
