Can protecting your design internationally benefit your business? There has been a significant increase in the filing of design patents globally. The trend reflects the growing recognition of design and aesthetics as key differentiators in the market. From technology to consumer goods, companies are increasingly seeking international protection for their designs. Here are some of the benefits of securing international design patents: · Competitive Advantage: Holding design patents can provide a significant competitive advantage. By preventing competitors from copying designs, businesses can maintain a unique market position. · Enhanced Brand Value: Design patents protect the visual elements of a brand, enhancing its overall value. Strong IP protection helps build brand equity, making it easier to attract customers and investors. · Legal Safeguards: International design patents offer legal safeguards against counterfeiting and unauthorized use. Companies can take legal action against infringers in multiple jurisdictions, ensuring their designs remain exclusive. #bochnerpllc #internationaldesignpatents

Bochner PLLC successfully defended its client’s #trademark against a summary judgment motion in a TTAB proceeding. The motion sought to block our client from registering its mark by establishing that the mark might create confusion as to the source of the client’s goods. Bochner PLLC Attorneys Meredith Lloyd, Esq. and Paul Fraulo convinced the Board that the trademark opposer failed to prove they have priority over our client for the trademark classification in question and that the opposer stopped using their common law mark after 2012.    Paul is an intellectual property attorney with over 9 years of experience working with clients to protect their IP assets, including their trade secrets, brand recognition, and patentable technologies. Meredith has assisted with the prosecution of patents and trademarks before the USPTO and has litigation experience in both state and federal courts.   A win for our clients is a win for our team.    Our litigation team stands ready to help you defend your intellectual property, learn more: https://bochner.law/ #bochnerpllc
