The Ⓓ symbol shows everyone that the design is yours
Just as © indicates copyright and ® shows that a trademark is registered, we are now introducing Ⓓ to signal that a design is registered. By using this symbol, you can clearly show that your design is protected and must not be copied.
Have you secured ownership of your design?
Design is not just about aesthetics – it is an important part of a company's identity and competitive advantage.
- By registering your design with the Norwegian Industrial Property Office, you gain exclusive rights to the appearance of the product and the right to exploit it commercially.
- This gives you a unique position in the market and tangible proof of your ownership.
- Should you end up in a conflict, you are in a stronger position with a design registration.
Do you own your design?
The value of the design lies not only in the idea, but also in the right to own it.

If you have a registered design, you can use this symbol to show that you own it.
The founders of Heymat, Sonja Djønne and Thoralf Lian, have a clear IPR strategy. They protect their distinctive design in countries where they sell or want to sell their products.
