Applications relating to a single design, as well as multiple design applications, i.e. applications including several industrial designs, may be filed, provided that, in the case of multiple design applications, the designs concerned are intended to be incorporated in articles belonging to the same class of the International Design Classification under the Locarno Agreement. The requirements for registration are as follows:

1. Applicant’s full name and address.

2. Power of Attorney, signed by the applicant.

In case of a multiple design application, representations of each design concerned must be filed.
