A new modern layout and better user interface design improve usability of the service and make the application process even more user-friendly.

The essential changes at a glance

  • up to 20 designs per design application possible (maximum of 200 MB for all representations)
  • Import and export function for the application data
  • Instant communication of the official file number of the design application
  • Download option for the application documents as PDF document
  • Better user interface design
  • Priorities and descriptions can be added to the designs

Changes regarding the design invalidity application

The online application also offers new functions for applications for the determination or declaration of invalidity of a design, for example an import and export function for the application data and an option to download the application documents as a PDF document. In addition, you can now add attachments to the application in PDF/A file format via an upload function.
