The Hague System: Design Big. File Once. Go Global. Save lakhs

You didn’t pour your creativity, capital, and countless late nights into building a unique product design just to watch it get copied simply because global protection felt unaffordable. 

For many inventors and startups, this is the turning point. The product is market ready. The design stands out. Global interest starts knocking. And then reality hits. 

Protecting a design internationally often means filing country by country, hiring multiple local attorneys, managing different currencies, and burning through funds that were meant for manufacturing, marketing, or scaling. What should feel like progress suddenly feels like a financial roadblock. 

This is where many innovators pause, not because they doubt the value of IP protection, but because they can’t justify letting legal costs swallow their innovation budget. 

What most inventors don’t realize is this: global design protection does not have to cost a fortune. That’s exactly why the Hague System exists.
