The ID5 Partners published this year yet another very useful information resource on the E-learning platform. Following the success of E-learning materials on “How to Select the Graphical representation of your design” and “How to present online evidence in an invalidity procedure”, we invite users to consult the “Comparative overview of practices chart”, which has all the information an IP representative needs to navigate the requirements of the ID5 jurisdictions. What can be subject to design protection? Which office accepts multiple designs or disclaimers? What is the applicable grace period and from when does it apply? How long can a design be protected and what are the periods for renewal? Which office has practices for appendix and reissue? All these questions and more are answered in a straightforward and easy-to use infographic.
