About Industrial Design Registration
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Design registration under the Designs Act, 2000 protects the visual features of a product — its shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation — not how it works. The design must be new and not previously published, and registration lasts ten years, extendable once by five more (fifteen in total). It is filed with the Patent Office with representations of the product.
Consumer products, furniture, packaging, jewellery and electronics housings are typical design filings. Disclosing the design publicly before filing can make it unregistrable, so file before launch.
Function and brand are protected differently: technical features by patents, the brand name by trademark. We help decide which mix fits your product.
| Law | Designs Act, 2000 |
|---|---|
| Protects | Shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation |
| Term | 10 years + one 5-year extension |
| Requirement | New and not previously published |
