In Rzeczpospolita, Dr. Michał Markiewicz writes about industrial designs (design protection) – he draws attention to a new ruling by the EU Court regarding the possibility of testing a design before its registration. The EU Court not only allowed for the testing of a design before its registration, but above all indicated that during a 12-month period (the so-called “grace period”) the creator can also make modifications to the design and register this new (changed in relation to the previously disclosed product) design without fearing that it does not meet the conditions of novelty, but above all of individual character.
