Our Industrial Design Services

The appearance of a product or part of it, as well as decorations on it, derived from features such as lines, shapes, forms, colors, materials, or surface textures, is referred to as a design. Simply put, design can be described as the visual aspects of a product, either in two or three dimensions, encompassing its entirety or specific parts. Design registration is an industrial property right that protects the external appearance of products. Essentially, it can be defined as safeguarding the visual appearance of a product through photographic documentation. At Akarsu IP, we offer comprehensive support to our clients in the field of design registration, both nationally and internationally. Our goal is to assist, guide, and support our clients throughout all stages of the process, ensuring that their creative efforts are effectively protected and strategically leveraged.
