Register your design with Shoplegal at Rs 11500. An industrial design refers to the shape, pattern, ornamentation, or composition applied to any product, in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms, by an industrial process. Each design should possess uniqueness and distinctiveness, showing no evident connection between different articles. For instance, applying for design protection for items like sunglasses and door locks should occur through separate applications.
Shoplegal’s patent attorneys are well-versed in securing optimal patent protection for your designs. They'll guide you through the required details and prescribed formats for registration. Following these formats is strongly recommended. The application process for design registration is facilitated by Shoplegal, requiring two copies of the original work. The design should be unique and unpublished prior to application. Once registered, a certificate is granted, valid for 10 years from the application date, extendable for an additional five years.
Requirement for Design Registration:
