In today’s Rzeczpospolita daily, Dr. Michal Markiewicz writes about industrial design and community designs (design protection) and points out the key decisions from the perspective of an entrepreneur at the time of filing a design for protection and their impact on the protection granted. At the same time he presents, among other things: how the scope of the granted right should be examined, how the way of interpreting a design differs in the case of an unregistered Community design, why there are situations in which, despite having the right to register a design, it is worthwhile to construct claims also based on the right to an unregistered Community design. It is also important to remember that design can, under certain conditions, be protected by copyright in parallel, as well as through the tort of unfair competition.
