WHAT WE MONITOR
DESIGNS
Overview
An industrial design right is an intellectual property right that protects the visual design of objects. It encompasses the creation of a shape, configuration, or composition of pattern or colour, or a combination of pattern and colour in three-dimensional form that possesses aesthetic value. Our service offers searches and checks for similar design patterns within our database.
FAQ's
This service will be particularly beneficial for design owners and entities planning to register industrial and other designs.
Each design is taxonomized based on Locarno's classification for better registration industrial designs. Our service verifies each new design and its classification and then compares the specific features and characteristics of the design with the customer's design. Automatic verification is performed using Vision ML and looks for elements of similarity between designs. This makes it possible to identify copycats or imitations.
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to this service, you can avoid potential objections in the design registration process. It will help you steer clear of using design features belonging to other industrial design owners.

Netflix Rewrites the Script on Broadcasting with TF1 Partnership and New 'OASIS' Trademark
Netflix has taken a step further into traditional broadcasting territory, partnering with French commercial network TF1 to stream all five of its linear channels and over 30,000 hours of on-demand content—including live sports, reality hits like The Voice, and popular dramas—directly on the Netflix platform. This shift reflects a growing convergence between legacy broadcasters and dominant streamers, as TF1, grappling with declining audiences and the limits of its standalone digital platforms, taps into Netflix’s global reach and evolving ad-supported model. The partnership is a strategic pivot for both parties: Netflix gains access to a broader range of live and localised content, while TF1 ensures continued visibility in an increasingly streaming-first media landscape. In parallel, Netflix has filed an EU trademark for OASIS, tied to a forthcoming dramatic television series and associated digital media, reinforcing its ambitions to dominate not just how people stream, but what they stream. The implications are clear—Netflix is no longer merely competing with broadcasters; it’s becoming one. As this hybrid model rolls out, industry players from Disney to Amazon may be forced to reconsider their positions in a rapidly redefined television ecosystem. The following chart illustrates the number of paid Netflix subscribers worldwide in 2024, broken down by region.
