Design Registration
Design Registration protects the unique visual appearance, shape, pattern, configuration, or ornamentation of a product. It grants exclusive rights over the aesthetic aspects of your design under the Designs Act, 2000.
If your product has a distinctive look that gives it a competitive advantage, registering the design prevents unauthorized copying or imitation.
