Additional Details

The important purpose of design registration is to see that the artisan, creator, of originator of a design having an aesthetic look is not deprived of his bonafide reward by others applying the same look to their goods. Essential requirement for registering design is that the design should be new or original, not previously published or used in any country before the date of application for registration. The novelty may reside in the application of a known shape or pattern to a new subject matter.

The design should relate to features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation applied or applicable to an article. Thus, designs of industrial plans, layouts and installations are not registrable under the Industrial Act 2000. The total term of a registered design is 15 years. Initially the right is granted for a period of 10 years, which can be extended, by another 5 years by making an application before the expiry of initial period.
