Title International Protection of Designs
Summary Industrial designs are protected in the International Law. The most important acts which regulate protection of design on the international level are two conventions and two agreements.
The oldest is the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property from March 20, 1883 (Paris Convention) . The second one is the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works from September 9, 1886 (Berne Convention) . The third one is the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights from April 15, 1994 (TRIPS) . The last one but not least is the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs constituted by three acts, but the most important is the Geneva Act from July 2, 1999 (1999 Act) .
All of these legal acts provide protection for industrial design (or work of applied art) on the international level.
