Industrial designs or designs simply refer to the ornamental or aesthetic features of an article that set it apart from others. They focus on the visual appearance of a product rather than its functionality. Examples include the shape of a car, the design of furniture, or patterns on textiles. To qualify for protection, an industrial design must be original and possess a distinctive character. Once registered, it grants the owner exclusive rights to use or exploit the design for a specified period. Our comprehensive range of services includes:
