In the modern scenario, there are people who unlawfully steal as well as infringe on someone else’s design and claims authority. Thus, go for design registration that will safeguard your #design and, thereby, it will prevent design infringement and economic loss. 

#DesignRegistration is a form of intellectual property protection that gives an exclusive right to its actual owner. Statistics from World #IntellectualPropertyOrganization show that in #India, design registration has been rapidly increasing since 2010. The reason why people are
making its utmost priority is that it protects designs against imitations and unauthorized copying.

From May 11, 2001, the Designs Act, 2000 came into light, and the Design Rules, 2001, regulate the #DesignRegistrationinIndia. This registration grants the right to the owner to use the Design for ten years; the time can be further elongated for the next five years. If any form of violation takes place, the design owner can look for legal help under the #DesignAct.

Benefits of Design Registration

A design enhances the commercial worth of a product and boosts its marketability. Most importantly, it makes a product saleable.
The registered design shall always be viewed as #business assets that have a rich market value.
Design Registration is regarded as the seamless choice to establish the validity of certain rights.
When a design is registered, it furnished its owner the exclusive right against unapproved copying or duplication of the design by third parties.
The progress of any business entity can be related to the the appearance of the #product.

 Eligibility Criteria

To register a design and safeguarded under the Design Act, 2000, it must fulfil the following criteria that I’m going to tell you in this video- 
• The Design must not contain any trademarks, artistic works, and property marks. 
• The Design must be unique and original or not previously published in any country before the application date of Design Registration.
• The basic of the Design is the features that are signified by the shapes, configuration, patterns, ornamentation, and composition that applies to an article.
• There should be a major difference between your designs and other designs that have already been registered. Similar designs, even if it is somewhat different don’t qualify to be registered.

Design Registration Process

Step 2- Application
Write an application for the registration and provide the information such as name, address, detail about the article, etc. 

Step 3- Examine & Approval
The patent office inspects it and gives the final approval. 

Step 4- Registration
Once your design is registered, it makes an entry into the registrar. 

Step 5- Duration
The duration of the design registration is 10 years from the registration date. Furthermore, it can be extended for the next five years. 

Step 6- Primary Claim
India is one of the participants of the Paris Convention, so the arrangements for the privilege of need are relevant. This case allows you to file another application in a different country for alike or Trademark, significant as of the date of filing the primary application.

The owner can take lawful action in case of any design infringement. The lawbreaker has to pay Rs. 25,000 for any damage caused by him.
