Application for design registration is the legal procedure to protect new and original designs of a product or article. A design refers to the aesthetic or visual features of shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation, or composition applied to an article, which appeal to the eye. Registration provides the creator or owner exclusive rights to use the design and prevents unauthorized copying or reproduction. The process involves preparing an application with details such as the title of the design, name and address of the applicant, description of the article, and a clear representation or drawing of the design. The application is filed with the Design Office under the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) in India, along with the prescribed fees. After submission, the office examines the application for originality and compliance with legal requirements. Upon approval, a registration certificate is issued, granting exclusive rights to the design for a specific period. Professional guidance ensures accurate preparation, proper documentation, and timely filing. Design registration encourages innovation, legal protection, and commercial advantage for creators.
