Designs can take any form. Bikinis, blouses and ties catch the eye when they are artistically designed.
Fashion paves the way to the future.
The faces of watches and clocks, labels on wine and other bottles, carpets, wrapping paper, greetings cards and other designed surfaces can also be protected as designs. Three-dimensional objects are known as models. These objects have an external structural form which can be protected. The cutlery and crockery on your breakfast table are another example. The car, bus or train that takes you to work can be registered as a model.
