Protecting Industrial Property Rights

The Views of the Article

The representations should consist of a sufficient number of different views of the article so as to leave no doubt about the precise features of shape, configuration, pattern and/or ornament for which protection is sought. To register a set of articles there must be views of all the different articles in the set. In most cases the most significant views are often those that show the article in perspective.

Size and presentation of representations

The representations, which may consist of drawings or photographs, should be presented on strong paper (but not cardboard) and on one side only of A4 size (297 mm x 210 m or 330 mm x 200 mm) with a left-hand margin of approximately 50 mm.
Only one side of the paper should be used and views should be grouped together on the page so that each set of representations may be made up of as few sheets as possible. The views should be drawn or mounted in an upright position. Each sheet should bear the name of the applicant(s) in the top left-hand corner excluding the margin and, in the top right-hand corner the sheet number and total number of sheets in the set should be given (e.g. "Sheet 1 of 3", "Sheet 2 of 3", etc as appropriate).
