The filing should show exactly the product design intended to be protected in the long term. Photographs or drawings must clearly and completely depict the design from sufficient views and without inconsistent features. Neutral backgrounds and consistent presentation make it easier to identify the subject matter of protection. The product indication and classification under the Locarno Classification should be prepared to match the design shown. The applicant and designer must be correctly identified, and any existing assignments or commission agreements documented. If the filing is to take place before the business is founded, it must be clarified who will initially be the applicant and how the right will later be transferred to the company. Earlier disclosures and claimed priorities should be checked against the applicable time limits before filing. At the time of filing, immediate publication may be chosen or, upon request, deferment may be provided for. Deferment can keep the design confidential for longer until the planned market launch, but postpones the time when it becomes publicly visible. Fees, representation costs, official communications, and subsequent renewals should be recorded in the protection budget and deadline calendar.
