Who Can Register a Design?
To be eligible, a design must:

- Not have been published anywhere before applying

What is Design?
A design refers to the visual features of a product—such as its shape, pattern, style, or arrangement of lines and colors—created by an industrial process. It does not cover construction methods, trademarks, logos, artistic works, or mechanical devices.
Why is Design Registration performed?
Registering a design helps protect the creator’s efforts and is different from patent registration. It offers additional protection and several benefits:
- More affordable than patent registration
- Simpler and shorter application process
- Legal action can be taken against copying
- Ideal for products with a short market life or easy to reproduce
- Prevents others from using the design without consent
What are the limitations of Design Registration?
While registration helps prevent misuse, there are some limitations:
- Only protects the appearance, not the function or operation
- Others may create products with similar functions, as long as the design is different
- Competitors can use a modified version of the design
The validity of Design Registration?
Design registration is valid for 10 years and can be renewed for an additional 5 years, making the total possible duration 15 years.
What are the chances of refusal or cancellation of registration of a design?
Registration is not guaranteed. The High Court or Controller of Patents may cancel a registration if:
- The design was already registered
- The design was previously published in India
- The design is not new or original
Only unique and original designs are accepted for registration.
What is the actual procedure of registration of design?
The process is straightforward if the design is new and original. Any Indian citizen who owns or created the design can apply, provided it hasn’t been published before. If the application meets the requirements of the Designs Act and Rules, the Controller will grant registration. The Patent Office in Calcutta handles registrations.
What are the documents required for registering Designs?
To register a design, you need to submit:
- Applicant’s name, address, age, and nationality proof
- 10 prints or photos of the design from different angles showing its shape and features
- Proof of priority, if applicable
- Signed power of attorney by the proprietor, partner, or director
- Name, address, designation, and nationality of the authorized signatory
- Copy of MOU & AOU or partnership deed
Note: Documents should preferably be submitted in English.
What rights are obtained by registration?
The registered owner gets exclusive rights to use the design and can apply it to any article in the registered category.
