Design Registration in India
Registration of industrial designs offers a crucial commercial edge by legally protecting the visual features of a product. To ensure eligibility, the application must be filed before any public display or commercial use of the design—prior disclosure can result in loss of rights.
Design registration in India is a relatively quick process compared to other intellectual property rights. Protection is granted for an initial period of 10 years, with a possibility of renewal for an additional 5 years.
As a signatory to the Paris Convention and TRIPS Agreement, India provides internationally aligned protection for industrial designs.

Early Filing is Crucial
To ensure your design is legally protected, it’s vital to file for registration before the design is commercially used or publicly displayed. Once a design is revealed or made available to the public, it could be disqualified from registration. Early filing safeguards your intellectual property rights, preventing others from using or copying your design before you obtain formal protection.
Quick and Efficient Process
Compared to patents or trademarks, the process for registering a design in India is relatively straightforward and fast. Once your application is submitted, it typically takes less time for approval. This allows you to protect your design and move forward with manufacturing or marketing it without unnecessary delays, providing an edge in the competitive market.
Term of Protection
A design registration in India provides protection for an initial period of 10 years from the date of registration. After this term, you can extend the protection for an additional 5 years, allowing for up to 15 years of exclusive rights. This long-term protection ensures you can maintain the commercial advantage of your unique design for an extended period, preventing competitors from copying it.
International IP Compliance
India is a member of the Paris Convention for the protection of Industrial Property and the TRIPS Agreement (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights). These agreements ensure that your design benefits from international protection and recognition. If you’re operating globally, having your design registered in India allows you to claim priority in other member countries and ensures that your rights are acknowledged worldwide.
