Trade Marks
A trade mark can be any symbol, word or design that identifies you as the owner of your goods or services to make it clear to consumers they belong to you.
Your brand can be your most valuable asset - it can set you apart from your competition and make you unique. Trade marks can give you the rights needed to effectively protect and commercialise your brand.

Designs
If patents can be described as protection for how something works, designs can be described as protection for how something looks. In short, a design registration helps protect the appearance of a product.
Design rights are often cheaper and quicker to obtain than patents, and registered rights can provide stronger routes to enforcement against infringers compared with unregistered rights.
