Worldwide novelty requirements, defining a protection strategy or ensuring entitlements are just a few of the many factors an applicant must take into account before trying to protect a design at an international level. Dirk Kromm, Patent Attorney (DE) and European Trademark and Design Attorney at Dennemeyer & Associates, gives a comprehensive rundown of the design filing strategy in Asia and the USA in a video presentation, part of our Annual Meeting blog post series.

Dirk Kromm has more than 20 years of experience in Intellectual Property and extensive knowledge in PCT Nationalization, where he developed a tailored design filing service. In addition to his activity as Patent Attorney, Dirk Kromm gained extensive experience as IP consultant in reputed law firms and industrial companies.

In this presentation, the speaker focuses on design filing strategy and the Hague Agreement, while also making a short list of recommendations for applicants.
