Car brands do not stop creating new concepts and ideas for their models.. And we have the proof that their work does not stop, registered and documented in the many patent and trademark offices that there are. There are several worldwide, but the WIPO is a reference for everything it entails. And manufacturers like Volkswagen They go to it to give legal protection to that work that, in silence, is carried out. But how to understand this final record?
Reviewing the latest registrations made by Volkswagen at WIPO We have discovered several things. The last one refers to the registration of the design of the new Saveiro and T-Cross. Both models are already official, so perhaps they wanted to "get healthy." But when diving through older records we have found that the brand's team of lawyers has requested the legal protection of these two drawings: a tiger and an iguana. Eye…
Volkswagen brings these two animals to the WIPO International Design Bulletin…
As we have already indicated brands create new concepts for their models. And the way to protect it is to turn to the legal "help" of the patent and trademark offices. In them they can register the design of their models, the names to use and even logos and designs that, in one way or another, may end up reaching their ranges. This is the key that surely helps to explain the design of this tiger and iguana. They could arrive in the future...
This explanation is more of a hypothesis than a reality, but it could be useful. How do you know The new Tiguan has a compound name (more like since it was born in 2007). The brand itself explains that its origin is the combination of the names Tiger and Iguana, coincidentally the representatives of these drawings. So, for the brand they could have a special meaning that they would want to protect. Or rather, to be able to exploit it commercially…
Until now we had never seen the tiger and iguana that give the park its name. Tiguan. However, with the evolution that the new "generation" has undergone They could be planning new finishes for their range. This, as we have said, is a hypothesis but does it sound plausible? Well yes, especially because The tiger is a sacred animal in depending on which countries. The iguana is also venerated in others but as a commercial movement it would make sense...
But they don't explain what they mean. Any different ideas?
For now, Volkswagen has not indicated any data corresponding to these designs. In the registration of the design patent they limit themselves to explaining that it is a “Drawing or figurative model [two-dimensional]”. But it stays there and they don't give any more clues. However, the fact that those from Wolfsburg have registered separate drawings does not mean that they have to see the light of day no matter what. Maybe this discovery does not go any further, but who knows about the future? Anything can happen, right?
