Design Registration

Protecting the Aesthetic/Visual Features of a Product

What is Design Registration?

**Design Registration** protects the purely aesthetic or visual features of an article—its shape, configuration, pattern, ornament, or composition of lines or colors. It is governed by the Designs Act, 2000.

This is essential for furniture makers, fashion designers, packaging companies, and consumer electronics firms whose products' market value heavily relies on their unique visual appeal, rather than technical functionality (which is patented).

Key Facts

  • **What it Protects:** Only the aesthetic/visual look of the product.
  • **Excludes:** Functional features (covered by Patent).
  • **Validity:** 10 Years, renewable for 5 more years.
