What is a Design?
In the domain of intellectual property law, design refers to the visual appearance or aesthetics of a product or object. It encompasses elements such as shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation, and colour that contribute to the overall visual impression of the product. Design protection safeguards these unique visual features from unauthorized use or imitation by others. From a company's perspective, design under intellectual property law represents a asset that contributes to brand identity and market competitiveness. Legal guidance is essential to secure design protection through registration, enforce rights against infringement, and navigate complex regulations, ensuring exclusivity and maximizing the commercial value of design assets.
