Intellectual Property Protection

Intellectual Property Protection at Shark Design

At Shark Design, we believe that every great idea deserves to be protected. From your first sketch to your final product, we’re here to help you safeguard your innovation with the right intellectual property (IP) strategies.

Whether you’re inventing something brand new or improving an existing design, we guide you through the process of securing your rights, so your ideas stay yours.

Why Intellectual Property Matters

Bringing a product to life takes time, creativity, and money. Without the right protections in place, someone else could copy or profit from your hard work. That’s where intellectual property comes in.

Your Idea. Your Rights.

Shark Design is an award winning product design and manufacturing company trusted by startups, brands and corporate retailers.

Shark Design is committed to helping innovators like you stay in control of their ideas. We’ll never share your concept without your consent, and we work under strict NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) to keep your idea safe during development.

Shark Design provides end-to-end solutions for product design and development through our eclectic mix of expert professionals.

We've got our mechanical engineers working closely with our curious creatives who sit beside our marketing specialists. Our products are top-quality and gain high market interest because our foundations are rooted in the expert knowledge of different areas but intertwine together on the surface. Knowledge borders can't exist in our world because a product built without cohesion might have one nice feature but can't guarantee success.

Our design teams lean into the mechanical and industrial engineering principles to execute a highly functional first draft which results in fewer revisions and our marketing teams are there throughout the process to build a comprehensive knowledge of the product to find the optimal marketing angles.

When Should You Think About IP

The earlier, the better.

In many cases, sharing your idea publicly (even on your website or a crowdfunding campaign) before filing can hurt your chances of getting a patent or trademark. That’s why we help you integrate IP planning early in the product design process.
