News and events

The Designs Directive and Community Design Regulation, originally created twenty years ago, are currently being revised.

We are proud to announce that the 2023 edition of the DesignEuropa Awards ceremony will take place in Berlin! Berlin, Germany, was appointed a City of Design by UNESCO in 2006.

The EUIPO’s Management Board and Budget Committee are made up of representatives from the EU Member States, the European Commission and the European Parliament. Representatives from the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property, the European Patent Office, the World Intellectual Property Office, the Community Plant Variety Office and user associations attend as observers during the non-confidential parts of the meetings.

By joining the EUIPO’s revolutionary blockchain initiative, the two offices open the doors to new and innovative services to their users.

On 20 October, the highly anticipated first-ever edition of the DesignEuropa Talks welcomed more than 400 design enthusiasts to the EUIPO campus in Alicante and was streamed online for others to access from all over the world.
