    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the need to update the Locarno classification system, a taxonomic system for the classification of products that aims to facilitate searches for designs for intellectual property owners seeking to launch new products. However, Locarno classification is unevenly applied, with many countries also applying their own additional classification. The Locarno classification relates to what a product does, rather than what it looks like, which can cause difficulties.
