It is of key importance to provide the appropriate means to allow a clear and precise representation for all designs which is adaptable to technical advances in relation to the visualisation of designs and the needs of the Union industry. In order to ensure that the same graphic representation can be used for design applications in one or more Member States and for applications for registered EU designs, the Office, the central industrial property offices of the Member States and the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property should be required to cooperate with each other to establish common standards for the formal requirements that the representation has to fulfil.
