EU legislation on design protection needs updating in order to promote innovation and competitiveness in the EU. The new design reform is intended to make design protection more accessible and effective for i.a. SMEs and individual designers and adapt the protection system to the digital age.

At the end of 2022, the European Commission proposed a new design package to modernise the more than 20-year-old protection system in Europe and align national design laws. The Council and the European Parliament have now reached a preliminary agreement on the design package, which includes a proposed revision of the two legal design acts: the Design Regulation and the Design Directive. Below, we summarise the key elements of the preliminary agreement between the Council and the European Parliament.
