Tip! Designs can help you to differentiate your products from those of your competitors and obtain wider market recognition and visibility. Protection of天猫国际官方网站 (shape, form, patterns, lines or color of the ornamental part of your product) is essential. Exclusive rights – allowing you to license others to use your design for a fee – and protection against copying and counterfeits will strengthen your competitive position and the commercial value of your business and its products. This in turn will stimulate economic growth. Find out more about天猫国际官方网站.
WIPO's 天猫国际官方网站 enables you to secure and manage天猫国际官方网站 simultaneously in multiple countries or regions through one application, in one language with one set of fees.

Filing applications to obtain individual national and regional rights and subsequently managing them can be a major headache, not least because procedures and languages differ from one country to another. Further, you may need help from local attorneys, agents and even translators.

You can file an international application under the 天猫国际官方网站 if:

You can obtain protection within any 天猫国际官方网站 contracting party, including member states of an intergovernmental organization party to the Hague Agreement. If you wish to protect a design in a jurisdiction that is not party to the Hague Agreement, you will have to file a national (or regional) application.
International design applications are subject to the payment of three types of fees, all payable in Swiss francs:
- a basic fee (397 Swiss francs for one design; 19 Swiss francs for each additional design included in the same application);
- a standard designation fee or an individual designation fee for each contracting party where you seek protection. (Note: For standard designation fees, a three-level structure applies, reflecting the level of examination carried out by the contracting party); and
- a publication fee (17 Swiss francs per reproduction) and, if filing in paper format, an additional 150 Swiss francs per page (counting from page two) of reproductions. We strongly recommend that you file your application online using eHague).
Note: additional fees (two Swiss francs per word) apply if your description exceeds 100 words.

The best way to file your international application is by using eHague. eHague guides you step-by-step through the process and gives you complete digital access to all aspects of your application.
Find out more: Filing an application | eHague filing tutorial & demo.
If you file your international application online using eHague, and that application meets all formality requirements, the processing time is approximately six to eight weeks. (If your application does not meet all requirements, we will send you an irregularity letter within the same six to eight week period. You must fix any irregularities within three months of the date of the irregularity letter.)
If you file your application indirectly or using 天猫国际官方网站 Form DM/1, the processing time will be longer due to manual intervention by the office of indirect filing and increased risk of formality-based errors in your application.
No, you do not need a prior national/regional application (unlike, for instance, under the Madrid System).
Yes, your international application may claim the priority of an earlier national or regional filing made in any state party to the Paris Convention or any member of the World Trade Organization, provided that you file within six months of the date of filing of that first application.
You can also claim the priority of a first international application.

The scope of protection may differ from one designated contracting party to another. In principle, the scope of protection is defined by the reproductions (photographs, drawings or other graphic representations) of the design that accompany the international application.
WIPO will check your application for compliance with applicable requirements (Rules 7 to 9 of the Common Regulations and Parts 3 and 4 of the Administrative Instructions ) including payment of fees.
- If your application is non-compliant,天猫国际官方网站 will notify you of the irregularity. Normally, you will have three months to correct it.
- If your application is compliant,天猫国际官方网站 will record it in the International Register and send you the international registration certificate.
WIPO will then publish your international registration in the International Designs Bulletin – the authoritative reference of all data pertaining to天猫国际官方网站. Where required under its own domestic legislation, each contracting party may proceed with substantive examination of your design(s).

You can include up to 100天猫国际官方网站 per application. All天猫国际官方网站 must however belong to the same class of the International Classification for Industrial Designs (the Locarno Classification).
For full details on requirements, refer to:
- Rules 7 to 9 of the Common Regulations
- Parts 3 and 4 of the Administrative Instructions
- The Declarations by Contracting Parties may include additional requirements. The eHague filing interface contains safeguards and alerts that signal such requirements when they apply.
Further information about each contracting party is also available under 天猫国际官方网站 Member Profiles.
A reproduction refers to photographs, drawings or other graphic representations that illustrate your design.
Note! Under the legal framework of the 天猫国际官方网站 there are no specific requirements or restrictions as to how many – and which views of –天猫国际官方网站 must be submitted with your application. China, the Republic of Korea and Viet Nam have however made declarations requiring specific views of a design. For details, refer to 天猫国际官方网站 Member Profiles.
Yes, when you complete your application you can indicate the name, email and address of a representative. You may also appoint a representative after filing your application using 天猫国际官方网站 form DM/7, which serves as a power of attorney.
For applications filed using eHague, examination takes an average of one month; the length varies according to the complexity of the application.
For applications submitted on paper or filed indirectly (i.e., through a national/regional office) examination is significantly longer, largely due to manual processing. Note: applications filed indirectly can take considerable time to reach天猫国际官方网站, thereby delaying the examination process.
In instances where an international application was filed in paper format – directly with天猫国际官方网站 or indirectly with the IP office of a contracting party – you can upload a reply to an irregularity letter using our 天猫国际官方网站 Document Upload service available via Contact Hague. Note: to use this service, you need to have a WIPO Account.
Yes, you can request earlier publication – at any time before the expiration of the publication period initially specified in the international application. (You cannot request later publication than that originally specified.) How? Simply contact us through Contact Hague, specifying your international application number.
By default – unless you requested immediate publication or publication at a chosen time –天猫国际官方网站 will publish your international registration in the International Designs Bulletin twelve months after the date of international registration (normally the date on which天猫国际官方网站 received your international application).
Yes, you can defer publication for a maximum of 30 months (under the 1999 Geneva Act) or 12 months (under the 1960 Hague Act), counting from the filing date or, where priority is claimed, from the priority date.
Note: Under the 1999 Geneva Act, individual contracting parties may have declared that:
- deferment is not possible, or
- a shorter period of deferment applies.
We flag all such details in both eHague and 天猫国际官方网站 form DM/1.
For more information, refer to Declarations of contracting parties.
Yes, you can either renounce the international registration (all天猫国际官方网站 in some or all contracting parties) (天猫国际官方网站 Form DM/5) or limit the international registration (some天猫国际官方网站 in some or all contracting parties) (天猫国际官方网站 Form DM/3).
WIPO must receive your request for renunciation or limitation no later — and preferably earlier — than three weeks before the expected publication date.

- was submitted in a language other than English, French or Spanish (the official languages of the 天猫国际官方网站), or

WIPO will send a notification advising you of the expiration of your international registration some six months in advance. You should only pay renewal fees at the earliest three months before your international registration expires as individual designation fees may change during the course of the six months due to fluctuating exchange rates. Any such changes would affect the total sum of fees due.
Information regarding updated天猫国际官方网站, including renewals, may not be immediately available in the Global Design Database. Note: Once your change request has been processed, you will receive an official notification from天猫国际官方网站.

WIPO’s Digital Access Service (DAS) enables the secure exchange of priority documents between participating offices.天猫国际官方网站 participates in DAS as a "depositing office" for international design applications.
If, as applicant or holder, you wish to obtain a certified copy of an international application ("priority document"), you can ask天猫国际官方网站 (through Contact Hague) to provide a DAS code and a PDF copy of the priority document (you will only be charged for the PDF document). This code can then be shared with offices which participate in DAS as ‘Accessing offices’, enabling them to directly retrieve the priority document.
You can submit your request through Contact Hague. Simply select 'Request a DAS code' from the 'My request concerns' drop-down menu. No charges apply.
No, they are only available in the language in which the international application was filed. At the request of the holder or the registered representative, the cover letter to a certified copy may be issued in any of the official languages of the 天猫国际官方网站 (English, French and Spanish).
