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.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.
What each said, in their own words
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.
Dear Madam, We would like to thank the European Commission and DG GROW for this call for input and this opportunity to give our opinion on the proposals for a Regulation and a Directive on designs. Designs are a fundamental intellectual property right for the LVMH Group Houses and the relevant legal framework is a major topic for the Group.

Clarifying that designs developed as part of employment relationships belong to the employer, 2. Outlining administrative invalidity proceedings as a more cost-effective and easier alternative to court procedures and 3.

SMEunited welcomes the initiative by the European Commission to update EU design protection rules. However, not all revisions and additions contribute to clearer and simpler rules for SMEs, e.g. limiting design strictly to visible components or delegating power in delicate matters such as appeal proceedings.
