Design Protection in the UK & Europe and How it Compares to the US

Design protection varies significantly across jurisdictions, so how can US patent attorneys and in-house counsel navigate the differences between the US, UK and Europe with confidence?

Join Wendy Crosby, Director, Patents and Head of the Designs Team at Murgitroyd, as she breaks down the key practical distinctions between design protection in the EU and GB compared to US design patent practice. In this on-demand webinar, Wendy shares clear, expert guidance to help you understand how these systems differ and what that means for your filing and enforcement strategy.

Explore how design titles, GUIs, animation, number of views, surface decoration, multiple design applications, deferment options, prosecution timelines and cost structures operate in the UK and Europe, and how these compare to the US. You’ll also learn about common pitfalls and strategic considerations that every US practitioner working with international designs should be aware of.

Watch the recording now to gain practical insight into securing, maintaining and enforcing design rights across borders, and to align your approach across the US, UK and Europe with greater clarity and confidence.
