Generally, industrial design protection is limited to the country in which protection is granted.

Under the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Deposit of Industrial Designs, a WIPO-administered treaty, a procedure for an international registration is offered.

An applicant can file a single international deposit either with WIPO or the national office of a country that is party to the treaty. The design will then be protected in as many member countries of the treaty as the applicant wishes. – WIPO
