WHAT WE MONITOR
DESIGNS
Overview
An industrial design right is an intellectual property right that protects the visual design of objects. It encompasses the creation of a shape, configuration, or composition of pattern or colour, or a combination of pattern and colour in three-dimensional form that possesses aesthetic value. Our service offers searches and checks for similar design patterns within our database.
FAQ's
This service will be particularly beneficial for design owners and entities planning to register industrial and other designs.
Each design is taxonomized based on Locarno's classification for better registration industrial designs. Our service verifies each new design and its classification and then compares the specific features and characteristics of the design with the customer's design. Automatic verification is performed using Vision ML and looks for elements of similarity between designs. This makes it possible to identify copycats or imitations.
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to this service, you can avoid potential objections in the design registration process. It will help you steer clear of using design features belonging to other industrial design owners.

AXA Secures Domain Name in Critical Brand Protection Case
In a WIPO ruling, AXA SA successfully reclaimed the domain <axa-europe-patrimoine.com>, citing its similarity to AXA’s globally recognised trademark. The disputed domain, passively held and registered, raised concerns over potential misuse for phishing. AXA’s trademark, registered internationally since 1984, enjoys a high reputation, further strengthening the case. The panel highlighted the respondent’s failure to respond to legal notices and the implausibility of legitimate use for the domain, ultimately determining bad faith registration and use.
