For example your company name, your graphic identity or a unique business idea. Learn more about how you can protect, manage and benefit from your intangible assets.

Do you want to protect your design?

A design registration protects the appearance of your product, but not its function. A design protection gives you the exclusive right to exploit the design commercially. Apply for design registration with the Swedish Intellectual Property Service.
