What is a Design?
A design refers to the visual features of shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation, or composition of lines or colours applied to an article. These features may be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, or both, and are judged solely by the eye.
Design protection focuses on the aesthetic appearance of a product rather than its functionality. Registering a design helps creators and businesses safeguard the visual identity of their products from unauthorized copying or imitation.
