Designs

Designs refer to the unique and original visual aspects of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. These visual elements can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal and marketability of a product. Design protection, often referred to as industrial design rights, is a form of intellectual property that grants the creator exclusive rights to use and commercialize their design for a specified period. This protection helps prevent unauthorized copying or imitation by competitors. Registered designs can cover a wide range of products, from fashion and furniture to automotive components and electronic devices. The registration process typically involves submitting representations of the design to a relevant intellectual property office. In addition to providing a competitive edge, design rights can also add value to a business through licensing or sale.
