Since spring 2026, applicants have been able to file designs online with the Monaco Industrial Property Office (MCIPO). This development marks a significant practical improvement for businesses, designers and rights holders seeking to protect the appearance of their products in the Principality. By simplifying administrative formalities, this new functionality makes the filing process more convenient and reflects the ongoing digitalisation of public services. 📥

1️⃣ HAUTIER IP is pleased to have obtained its first registration certificate following a design application filed through this new online platform. This first-hand experience highlights the practical benefits of the tool: a fully digital procedure that streamlines formalities and better meets the expectations of intellectual property professionals, helping them secure their clients’ creations more efficiently.

We welcome this initiative, which demonstrates the MCIPO’s commitment to modernising its services and supporting businesses in protecting their intangible assets. Digitalisation is an important driver in making intellectual property protection more accessible, efficient and aligned with today’s professional practices. A positive step forward for design protection in Monaco! 👏
