Design occupies an important place in the cultural world of today. Against this, there have been manifold techno-legal approaches on the part of the major European legislatures to the issue of the protection of works of design. The Community proposals for a Directive and Regulation in this area are a response to the need, widely felt in various sectors of the design world, for a homogeneous and systematic protection of design works. These initiatives should however be considered in the light of the many interests at stake and the various solutions put forward in the wake of the Community's past experience in the fields of patents and trademarks.
