Statute overview

About this statute

Eligible nationals and certain persons may seek protection or registration of their designs or industrial models in other contracting countries through the International Bureau in Berne. International registration of designs must be presented with an adequate graphic form of the design and a duplicate registration request in French. The International Bureau at Berne must record incoming international registration requests, notify the entry to each contracting country’s indicated Administration, publish it, and keep the registrations in its archives. International registration of an industrial design is treated as declaratory, and the registrant is considered the owner unless proven otherwise. Contracting countries must not require a compulsory mark for internationally registered designs, and must not forfeit those designs for non-use or because similar protected objects are introduced.
