The UK design patent is a type of patent that protects the visual appearance of a product's design, including its shape, pattern, ornamentation, and color, among other aspects. The primary purpose of a design patent is to prevent others from manufacturing, selling, or using products that are similar to the protected design without authorization, thus safeguarding the rights of innovators and designers.

The United Kingdom is a country that places great importance on intellectual property. The significance of intellectual property for the UK is self-evident, and trademarks, as a part of intellectual property, naturally receive close attention from the UK Intellectual Property Office. Due to the stringent trademark registration regulations in the UK, failure to prepare adequately in advance may result in losses due to unsuccessful trademark registration.
