Industrial Designs

Protecting the Identity of Innovation

When appearance is a key part of what makes a product stand out, protecting that original visual identity is essential. An industrial design registration provides an exclusive right to prevent others from making or selling an article embodying a design which is the same or substantially similar to the registered design. An industrial design registration is a a powerful tool that strengthens an IP portfolio and positions clients for success.

At Kirby IP Canada, we help secure and maintain exclusive rights to the distinctive look of products by registering industrial designs.
