Design registration protects the unique visual appearance, shape, pattern, or ornamentation of a product that makes it stand out in the market. It ensures that your original design cannot be copied or imitated by others, giving you exclusive rights to use and commercially benefit from it.

Registering a design not only safeguards your creative effort but also enhances the market value of your product by giving it a distinctive identity. It applies to a wide range of industries, including fashion, furniture, packaging, electronics, and more.

The process involves submitting design drawings, classification under the appropriate category, and examination by the Design Office. Once registered, the design is protected for an initial period of 10 years, extendable by 5 more years.

Whether you’re a designer, manufacturer, or innovator, design registration is a vital step to secure your intellectual property and maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
