International Design Protection

International design protection refers to legal measures that safeguard the visual design of products internationally. It ensures that the unique appearance or aesthetic elements of an object, such as shape, pattern, or color, are protected from unauthorized use or reproduction by others. Countries participate in treaties, like the Hague Agreement, allowing designers to register their designs in multiple countries with a single application. This protection helps creators maintain their intellectual property rights, promotes innovation, and encourages investment in design by preventing imitation and copying in global markets.
