Key Highlights

    1. Design Protection Criteria: Design protection is granted to new or original designs with visual appeal. Striking a balance, the law encourages design activity while safeguarding the rights of designers.

    2. Commercial Advantage: Registration of designs provides a substantial commercial advantage to the owner. To secure this advantage, the application for design registration must be submitted before any commercialization or public display of the article. Prior public exposure can disentitle the owner.

    3. Registration Process: Design registration is a relatively swift process compared to other forms of intellectual property. It is essential to file the application before public display or commercialization. The term of protection for a design is 10 years, extendable for an additional 5 years upon renewal.
