What is Registered Design? Designs registered protect the visible features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornament applied to an article, by any industrial process, which appeal to the eye. Designs do not protect the functionality or operation of products.
Benefits of Registered Design: A registered design can become a valuable business asset that can be bought, sold, transferred or licensed like any other property. A registered design can add value to a product and increase market awareness of your business, as the design is often what makes it attractive to the customers. Registration provides a stronger protection for your design and legal action can be taken if someone copies your design without your permission. This legal protection gives you the exclusive trade right to that design for a certain period of up to many years and improves the market competitiveness of your business.
