Dear all,
Kindly help me to solve my below mentioned query.
I am working in engeeniring unit , this Co. is 100 % subsidiary of the Japanese Company . We are using technology of parent company.
Now , my Company wants to develop one product for specific client , client want to patent the design of the product . As design will be developed by both Client & my Co. we want to make joint application for the patent of design.
Is it possible to make joint application for single Design ?
Where I can get the detail procedure for getting design pattented?
What kind of agreement we should entered in to with our client for specifying rights? can somebody provide me format of such agreement?
What additional Steps we will require to follow in this case as we are manufacturing products by using technology of parent Company ???
Thanks & regards,
Gargi

Dear User,
It is really very interesting.
It is possible to do joint application for design / patent registration. Before that you can make a joint IP agreement.
Design registration has to be completed in the manufacturing country, as well as importing countries.
All design registration will not fall under patents. It can be just a design registration. To comment on this issue, we need more details.
Since your company is a 100% subsidiary company, before you go ahead with current proposal approval from the parent company would be mandatory. There should not be any conflict of interest.
