| Summary: | The complex nature of industrial design, which combines functional and aesthetic elements, allows different modes of protection: cumulative, separate or partially overlapping regimes are applicable according to different legal systems.

In the last decade, national courts of some Member States conferred to the "cumulative regime" a peculiar meaning, other courts enforced design rights in line with the interpretation given by the Court of Justice of the EU.
