Abstract

The European Union’s design protection framework, initially established through Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002, has served as a cornerstone for providing designers and enterprises with uniform protection across Member States. In response to technological advancements, evolving market dynamics, and stakeholder feedback, the EU enacted Regulation (EU) 2024/2822, introducing comprehensive reforms. This article critically examines the revised regulation, analyzing its origins, objectives, substantive changes, implementation challenges, and anticipated implications for the future of design protection in the European Union.
