INDUSTRIAL DESIGNS

PROTECT WHAT MAKES YOU DISTINCT.

A great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a competitive advantage. If your product has a distinctive shape, pattern, or ornamentation, securing an industrial design registration can give you exclusive rights to stop copycats and leverage your design for profit.

Arcade helps businesses lock down their designs, enforce their rights, and stay ahead of the competition.

WHAT INDUSTRIAL DESIGN LAW COVERS.

  • What’s protected? The visual features of a product—its shape, pattern, or ornamentation.

  • What’s not? How it works, what it’s made of, or anything dictated purely by function.

WHY PROTECTION MATTERS.

  • Exclusivity: Prevents competitors from copying your design for up to 10 years in Canada.

  • Monetization: You can use, sell, or license your design for additional revenue.

  • Competitive Edge: A unique, protected design helps your product stand out and stay protected.

HOW INDUSTRIAL DESIGN LAW WORKS.

  • Identify what’s protectable. We’ll help you determine which design elements qualify for protection—and which don’t.

  • File before it’s too late. Once a design is published anywhere in the world, you have one year to file in Canada. Miss that window? You lose your rights.

  • Enforce your exclusivity. Once registered, your design is yours alone—and we’ll help you defend it if needed.

Think your design is worth protecting? Let’s lock it down.
