Industrial Design Registration

Industrial Design registration protects the aesthetic appearance of a product — including its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. We help designers and manufacturers secure their design rights efficiently under the Designs Act.

Registration Process

  1. Design Analysis

    We evaluate whether the design is new, original, and registrable under the law.

  2. Document Preparation

    We prepare high-quality representations and required documentation for filing.

  3. Design Filing

    We file the application with the Indian Design Office and pay the official fees.

  4. Examination & Objections

    We respond to examiner’s objections if any and ensure smooth prosecution.

  5. Registration & Publication

    Once accepted, the design is registered and published in the Design Journal.
