Design registration is important for businesses that invest in creating distinctive, attractive, or unique designs for their products, helping to safeguard their investments from competitors.
Design registration is the process of legally protecting the visual appearance of a product. This protection applies to the aesthetic aspects of a design, such as its shape, color, patterns, and decoration, provided they are new and original. The registered design is typically granted exclusive rights, preventing others from using, copying, or imitating the design without permission.
