INSIGHT

Before reading the quote

01

Drawings standard first

Each office has its own drawing rules — line weight, viewpoint, solid/dashed conventions, background. Non-conforming drawings draw an office action and stall registration.

02

Multi-design discount

The same applicant can file related designs together within 12 months and most jurisdictions discount further filings (HK/CN/EU often 50–70% off from the second on).

03

Hague vs direct

Hague is usually cheaper at 4+ countries; for 3 or fewer, direct filing per country is more flexible — a central refusal at WIPO can cascade across designated parties.

PROCESS

Five steps from drawings to certificate

STEP 01

Drawing prep

Your industrial designer supplies CAD/vector files; Team-E formats them to each office's standard (multi-view, solid/dashed line conventions).

STEP 02

Novelty search

Run a similarity search in target markets — assess registrability and conflict risk to avoid future refusal or invalidation.

STEP 03

File

Direct → each national IPO; international → WIPO Hague Registry, designating contracting parties.

STEP 04

Publication response

Watch publication oppositions, respond to examiner letters where applicable, coordinate national agents in step.

STEP 05

Grant & renewal

Collect the certificate, set renewal alerts (typically 5-year terms, up to 25 years), enable infringement watch.

Fee structure

All-in reference fees (HKD) for the key markets — local official fees and agency work included. Hague international filings are billed separately by designated contracting parties.
