Introduction
Design law plays a critical role in preserving the aesthetic integrity of industrial and artisanal products. The Designs Act, 2000, was enacted to protect new or original designs intended for specific articles manufactured through industrial processes. By securing design registration, artisans, creators, and originators ensure their rightful recognition and prevent unauthorized usage by others.
At RAS Intellect Solutions Private Limited, we understand the value of creativity and the importance of safeguarding it. Our expertise lies in providing tailored solutions for design registration and management, ensuring our clients’ intellectual assets remain protected and commercially viable.
Under the Designs Act, 2000, a design refers to:
Exclusions:
1. Exclusive Rights: Gain control over the commercial usage of your design.
2. Legal Protection: Prevent unauthorized copying or imitation.
3. Market Advantage: Enhance your product’s distinctiveness and competitiveness.
As per the Designs Act, 2000, the following criteria must be met:
1. Originality: The design must be new or original and unpublished before the application date.
2. Aesthetic Features: It must relate to shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation applied to an article.
3. Industrial Process: The design should be applied through manual, mechanical, or chemical industrial processes.
4. Visual Appeal: Judged solely by the eye for its aesthetic appeal.
5. Exclusions: The design should not include functional elements, trademarks, or artistic works.
6. Compliance: It should not conflict with public order, morality, or national security.
1. Ordinary Application: Filed directly in India without claiming priority.
2. Reciprocity Application: Claims priority from a previously filed application in a convention country (must be filed in India within six months).
Design registration applications can be filed at one of the four Patent Offices (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, or Kolkata), but prosecution is centralized at the Kolkata Patent Office.
• Form 1: Includes applicant details, nationality, and address for service in India.
• Article Details: Name and class/subclass (as per Locarno Classification) of the article.
• Design Representations: Two identical copies of drawings, photographs, or computer graphics clearly illustrating the design.
• Statement of Novelty: Highlights the novel aspects of the design.
• Power of Attorney: If filed through an agent.
• Priority Document: Required for reciprocity applications.
1. Examination: The Design Office examines the application and may raise objections.
2. Resolution of Objections: Applicants address the objections, if any.
3. Registration Certificate: Issued upon successful resolution.
4. Validity: Registration is valid for 10 years (extendable by 5 years through Form 3 before the initial term expires).
