Design Prosecution

Obtaining grant of registered design can be a time-consuming and sometimes expensive process, but litigation can be even more costly. Mistakes must be avoided at all costs then, and Adams & Adams has more collective experience than any other law firm in Africa – particularly in dealing with applications and the defence of registered designs across the globe.

The Patent team of Adams & Adams can guide you the maze of design application facts and potential challenges or objections:

• Determining the registribility of designs
• Drafting and filing of design and patent applications
• Restoration of design registrations
• Revocation of design registrations
• Voluntary surrender of design registrations
• Amendments to design registrations
