What is Compensation in Design?
What is an Unprotected Design?
Design right holders whose rights have been infringed by designs can demand the elimination of infringement and compensation for their material and moral damages from the court by receiving the necessary services from a trademark attorney. If the designs are damaged in reputation by the infringing parties through improper production or inappropriate market release, the design right holders can claim separate compensation for these reasons. Designs that do not have distinctive and new qualities and features, as well as designs contrary to public order or general morality, are designs that leave designers with no freedom of choice regarding their features and elements for the realization of technical functions. At the same time, they are designs that can only be produced in specific shapes, forms, and dimensions in order to be mechanically assembled or connected to other products, or for the products in which the designs are applied. It should be known that designs in this form cannot be protected and registration certificates cannot be obtained. However, the protection of designs and trademarks that can be protected and for which registration certificates are obtained is provided by consulting law firms and trademark attorneys. For detailed information What are Design Licensing Transactions?
All rights arising from design applications or registrations can be subject to license agreements that are valid within the entirety or a part of national borders. At the same time, license agreements must be made in writing and signed by the parties. The protection of these rights and all necessary transactions are carried out by trademark attorneys and consulting law firms.
