Register a design
Apply to register your design
You must have illustrations of your design before you can apply to register a design.
If you do not want your design to be registered as soon as possible, you can ‘defer’ your application for up to 12 months. Your design will not be protected as a registered design while your application is deferred.
Fees
How much you pay depends on the number of designs you are registering, not the number of illustrations you include.
| Number of designs | Online filing fee |
|---|---|
| One | £50 |
| Up to 10 | £70 |
| Up to 20 | £90 |
| Up to 30 | £110 |
| Up to 40 | £130 |
| Up to 50 | £150 |
Apply to register a design online
If you want to register more than one design, upload each one separately. After you upload a design, you’ll be asked if you want to add another.
If you cannot apply online
Fill in an application form and send it to the address on the form.
Include your illustrations and the fee. It costs more than applying online.
| Number of designs | Paper filing fee |

| Each additional design | £40 |
