Showcase Your Design to Over 90 Countries Around the World with a Single Application The world is wide, and opportunities are plentiful. What is the smartest way to present your design to the world and secure your rights? The answer is the Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs. The Hague System is the ultimate global filing solution that dramatically solves the complex procedures and massive initial costs of filing individually in multiple countries.
The Hague System: What’s Different? The core of the Hague System is ‘efficiency’ and ‘cost-effectiveness.’ By submitting a single application written in one language (English) to WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) and paying fees in a single currency (Swiss Franc), you can enjoy the effect of filing your design simultaneously in over 90 member countries. This is an especially powerful tool for startups and SMEs preparing for global market entry quickly and with a limited budget.
LEPLUS’s Professional Services • Optimal Portfolio Design: We go beyond simply listing the countries you want. We comprehensively analyze the probability of registration, examination period, official fees, and the pros and cons versus direct national filing for each country. We then design and propose an optimal portfolio of countries that best aligns with your business goals. • Preparing Drawings that Meet International Standards: With international publication in mind, we prepare high-quality drawings that are commonly accepted in multiple countries, minimizing the possibility of rejection in each designated country. • Integrated Post-Filing Management and Response: There is no need to worry even if a rejection notice is issued in some of the designated countries. LEPLUS will promptly connect with top local experts in that country to formulate a response strategy and will manage the entire process from start to finish.
