Design registration under the Designs Act 2000 protects the unique visual appearance, shape, configuration, or pattern applied to industrial products. Failing to register visual designs allows competitors to copy product styles once production exceeds fifty units, destroying visual appeal. Filing compliant multi-angle representations secures a fifteen-year aesthetic monopoly. This registration establishes visual exclusivity, helping your products stand out and building strong brand recall.
Conducting exhaustive database searches to confirm the visual design is absolutely new and unpublished worldwide.
Preparing high-resolution multi-angle photographic and schematic sheets adhering to registry standards.
Strategic classification of products under the international Locarno classification system across 32 classes.
Formulating legally precise novelty and disclaimer statements to secure the widest possible design protection.
Registration applies strictly to visual elements like shape, configuration, pattern, or color applied to an article, not its functional mechanisms.
Design registration is valid initially for ten years, with an optional five-year extension, providing fifteen years of protection.
Any prior public display or sale of the design worldwide destroys its absolute novelty, rendering it ineligible for registration.
