Industrial Design

An industrial design protects the visual aesthetics of a product, including its shape, pattern, color, and ornamentation. This legal right ensures that the creator of a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture has exclusive rights to use and reproduce the design for a specified period, usually 10-25 years. Industrial design protection encourages innovation and creativity in product development by safeguarding the unique visual features that make a product attractive and marketable, preventing unauthorized copying and imitation.
