INDUSTRIAL DESIGNS
Unlike Patents, registration of a ‘Design’ offers an exclusive right to its owner or creator to protect the aesthetical or ornamental aspect of creation. As a designer or creator, it is imperative to go for design registrations as it safeguards your creations and ensures that third parties (for example, copycats) do not deprive you of bonafide rewards of your creativity.
The tenure of design registration in India is for a period of 10 years which can be further extended for an additional period of 5 years.
