The way something looks can be as valuable as how it works. At Enovo, we help you protect the unique appearance of your products through industrial design registration. Whether it’s the shape, pattern, or ornamentation, securing your design ensures that your creative efforts are safeguarded and remain exclusively yours.
A well-protected design sets your product apart in a crowded market. It prevents unauthorized copying, strengthens your competitive edge, and adds significant commercial value to your creations. From consumer goods to specialized industrial products, protecting your designs is an essential step toward securing your innovation’s identity and market presence
Industrial design registration protects the visual appearance of a product—such as shape, pattern, ornamentation, or configuration—that is applied to an article by an industrial process. It does not protect technical or functional features but focuses on the aesthetic elements that appeal to the eye.
To register a design in India, it's best to take the assistance of a patent service expert like Enovo. Submit Form-1 along with clear drawings or photographs of the design and the applicable fee. Applications can be filed online or offline. The design is then reviewed for originality, and once approved, it is officially published in the Design Journal.
You should apply before publicly disclosing or commercializing your design in India. Filing early ensures your exclusive rights are protected and prevents others from copying or registering a similar design. Delay in filing may result in loss of legal protection.
You can track the status of your industrial design registration in India through the official website of the Indian Patent Office. The portal offers real-time updates on application progress, publication, acceptance, or any objections that may arise during examination.
No, a design must be new and original to be eligible for registration. If it has been disclosed to the public, used commercially, or published anywhere before the application date, it generally loses its eligibility for protection under design laws.
Yes, once registered, the owner receives exclusive rights to use, license, or sell the design for commercial purposes. This legal protection helps prevent others from copying or imitating the design, offering a competitive edge in design-focused industries.
No, industrial design rights do not extend to a product’s functionality or technical elements. They exclusively protect the external visual features and artistic aspects that contribute to the product’s appearance. If your invention has a functional element, consider applying for a patent alongside design registration.
Products where appearance influences consumer choice—such as home appliances, packaging, furniture, fashion, electronics, and consumer goods—benefit greatly from design registration. It helps these products stand out in competitive markets by legally securing their unique visual identity.
