What Is a UK Design Patent
A UK Design Patent (Registered Design) protects the appearance of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern ornamentation or surface decoration. It safeguards how a product looks, not how it functions.
Registering a design in the UK gives you exclusive rights and legal protection against copying or imitation.
