Side by side
Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.

A design proposal based on out-of-date assumptions The review of the EUs rules on industrial design was widely welcomed when it was first announced in the Intellectual Property Action Plan. However, now that the proposals have been presented, they seem to be based on old, out-of-date assumptions.
