If the office finds no obstacles to registration, the design will be registered by the office. A design is protected for five years from the date of application and can be renewed four times, each for an additional five years.  <\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/ueber-uns\/rechtsanwalt-peter-harlander\/\" title=\"Rechtsanwalt Peter Harlander\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/ph100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Rechtsanwalt Peter Harlander\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Peter Harlander<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Rechtsanw\u00e4lte<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eDie Gesamtlaufzeit eines Designrechts betr\u00e4gt 25 Jahre ab dem Tag der Anmeldung \u2013 danach erlischt das Recht am Design\u201c<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-designrechtsberatung\">Design Law Consultation<\/h3>\n\n<p>In the first step, fundamental preliminary questions are reviewed. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is the design registrable? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In which class should the design be protected? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>As part of the examination of the registration requirements, it is checked, for example, whether the design violates public order or is merely dictated by the technical function of a product.<\/p>\n\n<p>Once the preliminary questions have been reviewed, the next step involves defining the scope of protection for the design. Here, clarifying in which classes (Locarno Classification) the design should be protected is particularly relevant. This step also determines which geographical areas the design protection should cover.  <\/p>\n    <div class=\"mr-quote mrbg clearfix\">\n        <a class=\"mr-quote-person\" href=\"\/ueber-uns\/rechtsanwalt-peter-harlander\/\" title=\"Rechtsanwalt Peter Harlander\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-quote-person-img\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/harlander\/design\/ph100.webp\" width=\"100\"\n                 height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Rechtsanwalt Peter Harlander\">\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-text\">\n            Peter Harlander<br>\n            <span class=\"mr-quote-person-function\">Harlander &amp; Partner Rechtsanw\u00e4lte<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n        <span class=\"mr-quote-content\">\u201eZur Auswahl der zu sch\u00fctzenden Locarno-Klassen analysieren wir den aktuellen T\u00e4tigkeitsumfang Ihres Unternehmens, \u00fcberlegen mit Ihnen aber auch, wohin sich das Unternehmen in Zukunft entwickeln k\u00f6nnte.\u201c<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-designprufung\">Design Examination<\/h3>\n\n<p>Once these fundamental questions have been clarified, the actual research and design law analysis can begin. At this point, the main focus is on examining two key questions. On the one hand, it is checked whether the design meets the characteristic of so-called <strong>novelty<\/strong>, meaning no earlier, identical protected design exists. On the other hand, the design must possess <strong>individual character<\/strong> \u2013 meaning there must be no earlier design that could be confused with it.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Even as an expert, one faces a few tough challenges at this stage. Laypersons can only arrive at the correct result by chance at this point. Depending on its outcome, the design law analysis either leads to the approval of registration or to the creation of a risk assessment.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-designregistrierung\">Design Registration<\/h3>\n\n<p>The final step is the registration of the design. This involves handling the <strong>registration procedure<\/strong>, i.e., preparing all documents, filing with the competent intellectual property office, and <strong>correspondence with the intellectual property office<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design-jetzt-anmelden\">Register your Design Now<\/h2>\n\n<p>Do you want to register a design?
