The importance of an i-DEPOT

"I own a furniture factory and am producing a special line of furniture. The production process and the marketing plan still have to be drawn up. One of my representatives had got hold of the drawings of the new furniture and filed them at the BOIP as designs. It is a good thing I have the i-DEPOT because it will enable me to go to court and demand that the design rights relating to the unauthorised registration are declared invalid."

What is an i-DEPOT intermediary?

An i-DEPOT intermediary is an organisation that offers its clients the option of applying for a discounted i-DEPOT at the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property. The organisation pays an amount of 350 euro and can then apply for unlimited ID Codes (promotional codes or discount codes) for its clients by means of an easy procedure. Clients enter an ID Code when submitting the i-DEPOT and receive a 10 Euro discount on the price of an i-DEPOT.
