Industrial Design Protection is the protection of the shape of a product including its patterns, lines and colours. The design makes your product attractive for the consumers. Industrial Design Registration focuses mainly on the look and shape of the product and not the function of thereof. Industrial Designs include all kinds of products such as: bottles, chairs, devices, jewellery, tools or appliances. Industrial Design Protection gives you the right to forbid others from using, producing, selling or importing the same product of yours or the same look of your product which allows you to have your exclusive right to use your own unique design without others’ copying. The Design should fulfil the novelty condition, i.e. it should be completely a new shape that did not appear before in the market.
