Industrial Design

We can advise you and proceed with all the actions before the Patent Office, related to the protection of the design for new products – from the preliminary search for novelty to the filing and registration of the design.

In order to file an industrial design application, it is sufficient to send us images of the design – a basic one, and additional ones, if necessary, as well as a Power of Attorney.

The procedure of registration of the industrial design ends up in issuing of the protection document. Protection is granted for a 10 year period, with the opportunity of three successive renewals, five years each.

In a lot of cases clients are interested in registering the design for the product in more than one country. We can consult you in regard to the protection of a design for a new product in other countries, prepare the necessary documentation, file the international design application and prosecute it up to the registration. Bulgaria is a participant of the Hague system of design registration.
