Post registration
Whatever is in the design register is what is valid
Always keep the information about your design in the register up to date. Let us know about any changes straight away either in writing or via e-komm. This way, your design is optimally protected. In particular, remember to inform us about a change of address, change of design ownership as well as changes with regard to your representative or licensing agreements. Remember to include any relevant documents such as authorisations, contracts or transfer agreements.
There is no fee for making changes to the register.
