Design Registration Overview
Protect the Design That Sets Your Product Apart
An industrial design protects the visual features of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation or composition of lines and colours. Design protection is intended for the aesthetic appearance of an article rather than its underlying technical function.
