Design Registration in India - An Overview

As per the Design Act of 2001, a design is defined as a feature of a shape pattern or any form of configuration encompassing lines and colours. The design can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional or both as per the industrial standards. Section 2D of the Design Act of 2001 also defines that the design can be mechanical, manual, chemical, separated or combined and is completely judged by the eye.

The design of an organisation is treated as an intellectual property and in order to safeguard the same it is mandatory to register the design. This will protect the aesthetic appeal of the design.

The Designs Act of 2000 governs the incorporation and protection of designs in India. The Act that was introduced in 1911 was repealed and replaced with the Design Act of 2000. As per the rules, it is mandatory to register your design to avoid competitors copying your unique design registration.
