The expression "industrial designs" covers industrial designs and models= . Offices which issue design patents should report their design patent info= rmation activities in this series of Annual Technical Reports.
The following numbers of application and registration of industrial desi=
gns in Austria in 2006 are presented below in comparison with the numbers i=
n 2005 (=3D100%):
Design applications
1.309 in 2006 (-37% compared to 2005)
2.080 in 2005 (-14,7% compared to 2004)
2.439 in 2004 (-16,27% compared to 2003)
2.913 in 2003
Design registrations
1.272 in 2006 (-60% compared to 2005)
3.151 in 2005 (-16,8% compared to 2004)
3.787 in 2004 (-27,76% compared to 2003)
5.242 in 2003
Like the years before, application and registration activity in the desi= gn sector has slipped in 2006. The fall is due to the establishment of the = Community Utility Model, which has created a second opportunity to apply fo= r design protection for the territory of the Republic of Austria.
