Bedankt voor jouw feedback, Louis, op octrooicentrum.nl had ik al gekijken maar weet het nog stets niet zeker... groeten Julia

Hi, I wonder whether someone could help me: my invention is novel in its entirety but its components, if seen as individual parts, already exist. Does this mean I need to apply for 'modellenrecht' or an octooi after all? And, if I understand it correctly, I also need to apply for 'merkenrecht' to protect the name I'm giving the invention? The product will hopefully be sold internationally as there are no cultural/ language barriers in its application - is it better to go straight for world-wide protection or is European-wide more sensible from a practical perspective? looking forward to your feedback - in Dutch is great (but my own Dutch spelling is limited)!
