Registration of an industrial design – principle of specialty
Akademia Leona Koźmińskiego
Abstract
The subject of the article is the principle of specialty which, in the Polish legal system, limits the scope of protection of the industrial design. In fact, the scope of protection of the industrial design in the Polish law is much narrower than the protection under the provisions of the Directive 98/71. In consequence, an increasing number of Polish applications in OHIM results from the principle of specialty and higher charges related to the protection of the industrial design.
