Understanding Design Registration
As per Design Act, 2000 any entity or an individual can protect a design (such as shape, the composition of line, color combination, or a pattern) unique in nature and applicable on the article at the time of an industrial or mechanical process. The concerned government bodies support both two-dimensional and three-dimensional compositions of design which should be distinctive from the existing designs in the designated registry.
Registrar or authority safeguards a registered design from counterfeiting and empowers an applicant to legally sue the third party involved in infringement.
In order to ensure a trouble-free design registration, an applicant should not disclose the design through any media before submitting registration application for the desired design. On successfully acquiring the registration, an applicant is entitled the exclusive rights to use the design for the next ten years which is further renewable for the next five years.
Key-Elements of Design Registration
