Design Piracy Notice & Action
Act against copies of your registered product design.
Copying a registered design, or selling products that apply it without permission, is piracy under the Designs Act. We send notices, file takedowns against copied listings and, where needed, bring a suit for injunction and damages — often together with trademark and passing-off claims when the packaging is also copied.

Frequently asked questions
Can I act if my design is not registered?
Design piracy claims need a registration. Without one, you may still have trademark, copyright or passing-off claims depending on the facts.
