The numbers are in — over 1.5 million design filings were recorded worldwide in 2023, and China alone accounted for more than 50% of them.

Design is no longer just about aesthetics — it’s a strategic business asset. From smartphones and furniture to fashion and consumer goods, the way a product looks can be the deciding factor in market success.

Why this matters for your business:

• Design filings are growing at record speed
• Global competition means faster market saturation
• Early filing protects your designs before they’re copied
