Design rights
The Economics of Design Rights
Design is of key importance to the UK economy, with £33.5billion spent on design in 2008. This importance prompted the IPO to commission a set of research projects around design rights which has been produced in four chapters.
The first chapter looks at where design activity takes place in the UK, how it is purchased (bought externally or created internally) and how registered rights are used.
The second chapter looks at the impact registered design rights have on business performance, given a UK or EU design registration.
The third chapter is a survey looking at the reasons for the behaviour of firms when interacting (or not as the case may be) with the IP framework for design.
The fourth chapter is an international comparison of design systems in the UK, France and Germany.
