Especially students and young designers often have difficulties when it
comes to protecting their ideas properly against any copyright
violations.
That's why we would like to refer the following institutions (depending
on your home country) to you which can help you to protect your design.
Protection in Europe: The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) based in Alicante (Spain) offers such protection. If you register your design, you will have effective protection in each member state of the European Union.
