What is Industrial Design Registration?
Industrial Design Registration in Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore District — in brief
Industrial Design Registration protects the novel and original visual or ornamental features of a product — its shape, configuration, surface pattern or ornamentation — under the Designs Act, 2000, administered by the Patent Office, Government of India. A registered design grants the owner the exclusive right to apply the design to any article in the relevant Locarno classification for 10 years, extendable by a further 5 years. Design registration is critical for manufacturers, product designers and consumer goods companies seeking to prevent copying of their product aesthetics.

Any novel and original feature of shape, configuration, surface pattern or ornamentation applied to an article by an industrial process can be registered. Common examples include the shape of a bottle, furniture design, mobile phone casing, textile pattern, crockery design and vehicle body design. Purely functional features and designs that are purely artistic cannot be protected as industrial designs.
Design registration protects the visual appearance of a specific product under the Designs Act. Copyright protects original creative works and arises automatically. Trademark protects brand identifiers (names, logos). A product can simultaneously have design registration (visual form), copyright (original artwork) and trademark (brand name on the product) protection.
Prior publication or public disclosure of the design in India more than one year before the date of filing will disqualify the design from registration under Section 4 of the Designs Act. We recommend filing a design application before any public launch, trade show or product listing. Urgency filings can be expedited.
