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.

Monte dei Paschi Launches €13.3 Billion Bid for Mediobanca
Monte dei Paschi di Siena has launched a €13.3 billion takeover bid for its rival, Mediobanca, aiming to execute the deal through a share swap. Mediobanca’s market value stands at €12.7 billion, while Monte dei Paschi’s is €8.8 billion. The largest shareholder, Delfin, holds a 20% stake in Mediobanca and 10% in Monte dei Paschi, positioning it as a pivotal player in the transaction. Once a troubled bank rescued by the Italian government in 2017, Monte dei Paschi has undergone a remarkable transformation, reducing the state’s stake to less than 12%. This ambitious bid signals Monte dei Paschi’s resurgence as a significant force in Italy’s banking sector.
