What is Design Registration?
Design Registration is a form of intellectual property protection that safeguards the unique visual appearance of a product. It protects features such as shape, pattern, configuration, ornamentation, and composition of lines or colors that make a product visually distinctive.
A registered design gives the owner exclusive rights to use the design and prevents unauthorized copying or imitation by competitors.
