A design must be new, original, and non-obvious to qualify for protection. It should be applied to manufactured articles and must not have any functional or structural impact on the product’s utility. The design should be capable of being reproduced by industrial processes and must not be contrary to public order or morality.
The design registration process typically takes 6-12 months from the filing date, depending on the complexity of the application and any objections raised by the Design Office. Our IP law firm in Bangalore expedites this process by ensuring complete and accurate applications from the outset.
Design registration in India is initially valid for 10 years and can be extended for another 5 years. You must file for extension before the initial term expires. Our portfolio management services ensure timely renewals and maintenance of your design rights.
