OVERVIEW

Protect the visible design features that make your product recognisable

Design Registration focuses on the visual features of a product, not its brand name or technical function. It can be useful for products where the shape, configuration, pattern, surface ornamentation or visual appeal gives the article a distinct market identity.

Money Mangalam helps you prepare design views, understand filing category, organise novelty details, collect applicant documents and move ahead with guided application support.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

These answers cover common doubts around design registration, product views, novelty, class selection, documents, public disclosure, objection handling and application tracking.

What is Design Registration?
Design Registration protects the visual appearance of an article, such as its shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation or composition, when applied to a product by an industrial process.
What type of designs can be registered?
Product shapes, patterns, surface ornamentation, packaging forms, article configuration, industrial product appearance and visual design features may be considered if they meet design registration requirements.
Is Design Registration the same as Trademark or Patent Registration?
No. Design Registration protects the visual appearance of a product. Trademark protects brand identity, while patent protection is usually linked to technical inventions or functional improvements.
What details are needed for design registration support?
Common details include product name, article class, design views, drawings or photographs, statement of novelty, applicant details, creator details and prior publication status.
Can I register a design after launching the product?
Design filing should ideally be reviewed before public disclosure or commercial launch. Prior publication can affect registrability, so early advice is important.
What are design views?
Design views are visual representations of the product from different angles, such as front, rear, top, bottom, side and perspective views, used to show the design features clearly.
What happens if a design application receives an objection?
If an objection is raised, the application may need clarification, revised views, supporting documents, novelty explanation or hearing-stage support depending on the notice.
Does Money Mangalam guarantee Design Registration approval?
No. Registration depends on novelty, originality, product views, documents, classification and official examination. Money Mangalam provides filing assistance and process guidance.
