At Your Legal Company, we understand the significance of protecting the unique visual appearance of your products. A registered design ensures that the aesthetic features of your product—such as shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation—are safeguarded, giving you exclusive rights over its use and preventing unauthorized replication.
Design protection is governed by the Designs Act, 2000, which aims to protect the visual appeal of articles manufactured by industrial processes. A registered design focuses purely on the aesthetic and non-functional aspects of a product. This protection ensures that your designs remain exclusive to you for 10 years, extendable by an additional 5 years.
We provide end-to-end solutions to secure your product designs:
