Protect your creative work by registering copyright
Creating a product that is both useful and attractive is of strategic importance for companies. The product’s appearance not only sets it apart from the competition, but also appeals to consumers. The appearance of this product must therefore be protected. This is why the legislator has introduced industrial property protection for designs.
The Intellectual Property Code in its article L 511-1, defines designs as “the appearance of a product, or part of a product, characterized in particular by its lines, contours, colors, shape, texture or materials. These characteristics may be those of the product itself or of its ornamentation.”
When the appearance of these products is materialized by two-dimensional graphic elements, we speak of drawings. When these graphic elements are three-dimensional, we speak of models.

In accordance with article L 511-2 of the French Intellectual Property Code , “only designs that are new and distinctive can be protected”.
Designs that are contrary to public policy or morality cannot be protected. The same applies to designs based on a computer program, or whose characteristics are exclusively dictated by the technical function of the product.
