Choose the right intellectual property!
Which protection is right for you depends on what you created. Make sure to choose the right protection for you.
The difference between the protections
Of the four intellectual property rights, you can apply for protection for patent, design and trademark. Copyright arises automatically.
Copyright
A photographer automatically has copyright that protects artistic creation.
Design
A design registration protects the appearance of all or parts of the shoe, not its function.
Patents
Patents protect a technical solution, for example a new way of manufacturing the sole of the shoe.
Trademark
A trademark is a distinguishing sign of a product or service, for example the shoe name.
