No matter how functional it is, every product that lacks aesthetics is doomed to lag behind our age.

Even in many areas, such as factory areas, military equipment, shipyards, where consumption is realized in the roughest form today, aesthetic appearance is now as important as its function for choosing machinery and equipment.

In this context, many machine and machine tool manufacturers are now working with industrial designers to exhibit products with more contemporary looks than the traditional four corners and rough metal stack appearance at fairs.

Protection From Competitors

The most important weakness of aesthetic-looking industrial products is that they can be imitated very easily. Images taken by curious visitors with their mobile phones during fair visits may cause a product belonging to you to be exhibited at your competitor's stand at the next fair.

Preventing Labor Theft

While the application of designs, which are the result of a very valuable mental activity, to products requires a separate designer-engineer intelligence and experience, it is unfortunately much faster to imitate a completed design by examining it from the outside. The most powerful tool that can prevent this labor theft is design registration.

Design Registration

Design registration, on the other hand, involves relatively easier and faster processes for patents and trademarks, but requires at least as deep planning and analysis as they do. How and which images should be used in your products for application is of vital importance for you to be able to legally use your registered design against copycats in the future.

Protection from All Angles

Another issue is that the patent, utility model and brand strategies related to the product for which the design application will be made should be carried out as a whole. For an aesthetic product with a functional feature, including it in a utility model or patent application may allow you to protect your product in every aspect.

Monitoring

Another important design issue is that you regularly monitor your competitors or industry from design bulletins. This will help you both to object to unfair design applications and prevent them from completing the registration process, and to monitor the movements of your competitors instantly.
