What is Industrial Design Registration?
Short answer
Design registration in India lasts ten years from the date of registration and may be renewed once for five additional years. It is distinct from patent protection of technical function and copyright in artistic works.
Definition
An industrial design protects the visual features of shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation applied to an article. Functional features alone are not protected as designs.
