DESIGNS
PROTECT, ENFORCE, MANAGE
A registered design is a valuable business asset which grants the owner the exclusive right to commercially exploit products embodying the design.
Registered designs are a form of intellectual property directed to the appearance or “visual features” of a product. Aspects of appearance that can be protected include the shape, configuration, pattern and/or ornamentation applied to a product. Design protection is to be contrasted with patent protection where the focus is on how a product works as opposed to its appearance.
