The Global Design Database is a comprehensive online database developed and maintained by the World Intellectual Property Organization. It serves as a global resource for industrial designs, providing users access to a vast collection of international design records promoting transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in the design system. The database offers valuable tools and search functionalities to assist designers, researchers, intellectual property professionals, and policy-makers in exploring industrial designs worldwide, tracking design registrations, finding potential conflicts, giving access to design data for analysis, policy development, and academic research.

History

The Global Design Database was officially launched in 2015.[1][2] It was designed to provide a centralized platform for searching and retrieving design records from various national and international databases.[3] In the following years the database continued to evolve and expand its functionalities to meet the growing demands of design users.

As of December 2023, it contains over 15.5 million records.[4]

Features and Functionality

The Global Design Database offers a range of features and tools to assist users in searching and exploring design information. Some key features include:

Extensive Coverage

The database provides access to a vast collection of design records from national and international design offices. It covers industrial designs registered under the Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs, as well as national design offices from different countries. Users can search for designs registered in multiple jurisdictions, making it a valuable resource for global design protection.

Multilingual Search Interface

The Global Design Database supports multiple languages, allowing users to perform searches using keywords, design titles, applicants' names, and other relevant criteria in their preferred language. This multilingual capability enhances the usability and effectiveness of the database, enabling users to search for designs using local or international terminology.

Advanced Search Options

Users can utilize advanced search options to refine their queries and retrieve specific design records. The database offers various search filters, including design classification, status, applicant's name, and filing date, among others. These filters help users narrow their searches and locate relevant designs more efficiently.[5]

Detailed Design Information

Users can access comprehensive information for each design record through the Global Design Database. Each record provides details such as the design title, applicant's name and address, registration and expiration dates, design classification, status, and associated documents. Users can review the design's legal status and download relevant documents for further analysis and reference.
