From shape to
exclusive title.
The sculptural shape of an object, the ornamental set of lines and colors applied to a product: that is industrial design. When protected, it becomes a temporary title of ownership with territorial exclusivity.

The shape that sets a product apart on the shelf is worth as much as what the product does.
