In today's fast-moving, design-driven market, your product’s appearance isn’t just aesthetic—it’s a valuable business asset. Design registration legally protects the unique visual elements of your product so no one else can imitate or exploit them. At SolvLegal, we help businesses, designers, and innovators secure their creative edge by registering their designs with ease, speed, and legal accuracy.

What Is Design Registration and Why Is It Important?

Design registration is a form of intellectual property protection that safeguards the external appearance of your product—not its function. This includes shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation, or combination of lines and colors applied to a product.

Under the Designs Act, 2000 in India, once a design is registered, you get exclusive rights to use and commercialize that design for 10 years, extendable by another 5 years.

Examples of registerable designs:

• The unique shape of a water bottle
• A distinctive pattern on fabric or footwear
• A special configuration of packaging for a cosmetic product
• The artistic appearance of a consumer gadget or toy

Why it matters:

Without registration, anyone can copy or replicate your design without legal consequences. Once registered, you can stop infringers, license the design to others, or even sell the rights for commercial gain.

Don’t leave your creativity unprotected. A registered design is more than just a right, it’s a competitive advantage.
