Design registration protects the aesthetic appearance of products including shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation.
Got a killer product design? Worried about copycats? Here's how to lock it down.
Industrial design protects how your product looks its shape, pattern, color, or unique features. It's all about visual appeal, not function.
Unlike patents, this is for non-functional design only. Can't protect moving parts or tech. Just the aesthetic that makes customers choose your product.
Shape • Pattern • Color • Form
Invested in your product's look? Protect it. Period.
Without protection, copycats can steal your design and kill your business.
Own the IP rights to your unique design. You're the only one who profits from it.
In a crowded market, sleek design wins. Protect what makes customers choose you.
Design rights can be claimed for almost all objects manufactured industrially. India follows the Locarno Classification of Articles to categorize products for design registration.
Section 2(ac) of the Patents Act defines industrial application as the capability of being made or used in an industry. The invention must have practical utility.
A critical criterion for protection is the "disclosure of an enabling patent". The draft specification must disclose the invention sufficiently to enable a skilled person to carry it out without undue effort. If the specification is insufficient, the patent/right will not be granted.
Don't let copycats profit from your hard work. Protect your design today.
