Design & Copyright
IP Firm of the Year 2010 -
Since introduction of the EU-wide European Registered Community Design (RCD) design protection is now, more than ever, an important piece in an Intellectual Property portfolio. A RCD provides protection in all 27 EU member countries with a single automatically granted design registration. That's a market of some 370 million citizens!
RCD protection is available for both logos and typefaces. Trademark proprietors should also consider whether they should seek such protection through the Design route for their graphics.
Tomkins is expert in filing RCD applications and more importantly in delivering astute advice on how to protect visual aspects of your IP. We have been doing so for the last 80 years.
