Industrial design registration in Peru
The registration of an industrial design in Peru grants its owner exclusivity for a non-renewable period of 10 years from the date of filing of the application. Exclusivity allows you to directly exploit the industrial design or grant licenses, assignments and other powers to third parties. On the other hand, exclusivity is also manifested in the power to initiate actions for infringement, request precautionary measures and sanctions against any infringer. Source: Indecopi
