To set up a new Industrial design watch, please go to the Dashboard >  Industrial Design Watch > Manage and fill out the parameters.


To begin with, please Click on the "Drop image here or Browse" to add the image file

Please note that for montiroing, it is only possible to uppload one image file, so we recommend to go for the "main'' view (usually it's the front, side, or 3/4 view that is the most distinctive), or you can set up additional watches:


When selecting the databases, you can choose between two options for trademarks: 


- Packs that contain combinations of sources

- Trademarks that list single databases


To select Locarno classes, you can type in the code into the cell, or open the pop-up menu and choose the necessary opion from the list. There you can also choose among three types of classifications: WIPO, Canada, or Japan national. 


To see more details on any of these, click the link to access the official source.


Choose the necessary classes and click “Add.” Use the “Remove” or “Remove all” buttons to eliminate any unwanted selections.


Please note that you can use the search bar at the top of this menu to find the appropriate classes based on the keyword you enter. 


Simply type in the relevant term and click the “Search” button to see if it appears in any available classifications.


Finally, select the mode: "Match ANY class" or "Match ALL classes," then click "Update."


To set additional Watch Parameters, please click the “More watch options” tab.


Those additional parameters include the following:

  • Client/Label (for distinguishing among clients, case numbers, or product categories)
  • Internal Note (to add some internal information)
  • Auto-renewal (your subscription to be automatically extended for another year on the due date; you also get an invoice prior to that)


External id and External client id can be used for additional differentiation of the customers, if necessary.

Please note that by default, you do not see these two columns on the watch list, but you can adjust the view by clicking the Custom columns:


When all the configuration is done, please click the “Add Designs to watch” button.


Once you've completed the previous steps, your watch will appear on the list. 


If needed, you can add Auto-Email rules (to define the email recipients of results per each watch), and you can also modify any previously entered criteria. 


Please note that the database can only be adjusted for watches that are not yet active.
