Design registration- an overview
A design is defined under the Design Act of 2001 as a characteristic of a shape pattern or any type of configuration that includes lines and colours. According to industrial standards, the design can be two dimensional, three dimensional, or both. The Design Act of 2001’s Section 2D further states that the design can be entirely evaluated by the eye and can be mechanical, manual, chemical, separated, or combined.
An organization’s logo is considered intellectual property, so in order to protect it, the logo must be registered. This will preserve the design’s aesthetic attractiveness.
The incorporation and protection of designs in India are governed by the Designs Act of 2000. The Design Act of 2000 replaced the Act that was first adopted in 1911. To prevent competitors from stealing your original idea, it is required by law to register your design.
