Geschmacksmuster

Under German law, the registered design (German: "eingetragenes Design"), formerly called Geschmacksmuster ("aesthetic model"), is a form of intellectual property that extends industrial design rights over the visual design of objects that is not purely utilitarian. The term of a "Geschmacksmuster" is twenty-five years (§ 27 (2) GeschmMG), as it is for a community design.
