Registered Designs & Freedom to Operate in the UK - In 30 Minutes

Introduction

Registered designs are a cost-effective, powerful tool to protect the look and feel of products, designs and user interfaces.

They are effective business tools employed by many companies and individuals to protect their products, therefore, it is important to be aware of and to respect third party rights when engaging in product design.

In this regard, freedom to operate searches can assist in identifying any problematic third-party rights, together with an understanding of how these rights may be interpreted by a UK court should litigation arise.

This short webinar will briefly discuss the law of registered designs in the UK and explain how this can be practically applied in the freedom to operate process.

It will consider how to interpret the scope of a registered design and identify whether any third-party rights are a potential risk.

The webinar will also examine the process of changing a design to mitigate infringement risks from any identified rights.
