Locarno Classification

Class selection and notes that reflect your product family and planned variants. Avoids avoidable office queries.

🧾

Statements & Disclaimers

Boundary statements, broken-line disclaimers, and non-functional disclaimers drafted to preserve scope and survive citations.

Deliverables you receive

Class analysis with rationale and proposed title.
Representation sheets (DIN-A4/A4) with consistent views and figure keys.
Draft statements/disclaimers tailored to the design.
Filed forms, acknowledgments, and submission receipts.
Prosecution log—queries, responses, and status history.

What’s covered (and what isn’t)

Covered: visual features—shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation, composition of lines/colours.
Not covered: functionality, methods, internal mechanisms (that’s patent territory).
Logos/brand elements may belong under trademark—ask us, we’ll route correctly.

Drawings that clear formality—first time

Simple rules, tight execution.

Best practices

Black lines on white background; no gradients unless shading is needed to show contour.
Consistent scale; no perspective distortion between views.
Broken lines to disclaim environment/unclaimed portions.
No text/branding in the figures unless it’s part of the claimed design.
One design per application unless a valid set; variants require separate filings.

Common mistakes we avoid

Mixing photos and line drawings in the same set.
Changing proportions between views.
Missing a key view (e.g., bottom) causing objection.
Over-broad titles and vague statements that invite citations.

Process that avoids rework

Short path. Predictable outcomes.

1) Discovery & Objectives

Define product, variants, markets, and timelines. If the design isn’t ready, we say it.

2) Class & Title

Pick the Locarno class and an accurate title—no fluff that narrows scope.

3) Drawings & Statements

Prepare views, boundary statements, and disclaimers. Check consistency across sheets.

4) Filing

India filing with clean forms and priority claims. Coordinate foreign filings as required.

5) Examination & Grant

Reply to objections with precise corrections—no over-amending that harms scope.

Documents checklist

Applicant details and author (if different).
Product title and brief description.
Representation sheets (all views) or 3D model exports for conversion.
Priority details (country/date/app no.), if any.
Assignment/authorization (as applicable).

Term & jurisdiction (high-level)

India: protection term as per current law (commonly up to 15 years in total, subject to rules).
Foreign: via associates; Hague route used where the destination is a participating member.
We’ll map exact dates and renewals before filing—no surprises.

FAQs

Straight answers.

Line drawings are preferred for clarity and consistent scope. Photos can be used in some cases, but mixing both in one set is risky. We convert photos/3D into coherent line drawings where needed.

Only if the law permits a “set” under strict conditions. Otherwise, separate filings are safer. We’ll advise case-by-case.

Purely functional features aren’t protectable as design. If the aesthetic is independent and visible in normal use, we proceed. Otherwise, we explore patents instead.

Very. Over-broad titles invite citations; vague statements weaken scope. We keep them precise and aligned with the drawings.

Yes—monitoring, notices, customs recordals where relevant, and escalation via counsel if proportionate. We’ll map cost vs. impact before action.
