DESIGN LAWS

A design right protects the distinct appearance of a product, by providing a monopoly over the design of the product. Conception of a design requires investment of considerable amount of time and capital and plays an important role in the sales of the product by shaping a buyer’s preference for that article.

Under the Indian Designs Act, 2000 only those designs that are new or original are a subject matter of design registration in India. A design cannot be registered if it is not significantly distinguishable from known designs or combination of designs. Under design registration law, the proprietor gets returns on the investment that it had made in developing the design.
