Previously, the name had been &quot;midgam&quot;. In other countries, this type of intellectual property may be knows as a &quot;registered design&quot; or a &quot;design patent&quot;.<\/p><p>A &quot;design&quot; is precisely that. It is a legal right which protects <strong>decorative (ornamental) features<\/strong> of a product, or part of a product (e.g. color, shape, decoration, texture, etc.).<\/p><p>The features <strong>must<\/strong> be purely decorative \u2013 they cannot perform any functional role in the product (a matter addressed by (utility) patents).<\/p><p>So, by way of example, the pattern which is printed on a piece of clothing, or the particular shape in which a diamond is cut, could both be registered as designs. In both cases, these are ornamental features.\u00a0<\/p><p>In order to be eligible for registration in Israel, a design must be <strong>novel<\/strong> and <strong>unique<\/strong>. These are complex legal concepts which are not always easy to define in black and white. But, in gross terms, it means that the design cannot be identical or substantially similar to any earlier published designs or products. So, if you want to protect a decorative feature of your product, you need to file for protection before the product is released. For publications by the owner of the design, there is a grace period, currently of 12 months \u2013 please call us for more information.<\/p><p>Contrary to the popular urban myth, there is<strong> <u>no<\/u> rule of thumb<\/strong> whereby 2 or 3 differences to an earlier design will render the later design &quot;unique&quot;, or non-infringing. In fact, a flexible test is applied, based on &quot;overall impression&quot;. This will also be influenced, for example, by how &quot;crowded&quot; the field is. In a field where there are large numbers of designs, where each one differs from the others only in small details, then the requirement for &quot;uniqueness&quot; will be relaxed. In contrast, a brand new design, unlike anything that came before, will enjoy broader protection.<\/p><p>Now you know what a registered design is, and what it can do for you, please <a href=\"#PROCEDURE\">scroll back to the top of the page<\/a>, for details on procedures, costs and times.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b0c8764\" data-id=\"b0c8764\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b41e26e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b41e26e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Designs Abroad<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20ed264 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"20ed264\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Registered designs are territorial rights.

The other is the &quot;Hague Track&quot;, sometimes known as the &quot;Hague International Design System&quot;, or &quot;WIPO&quot;. In the Hague Track, you still need to select the countries where your design will be filed, but the filing procedure itself is a little different.
