Design Registration in India ?

Design registration in India is a way to protect the unique look and appeal of a product that has been created by an individual or business. The registration process ensures that the product is identified as being uniquely created and is protected from duplication by other entities. The process involves submitting an application to the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks, which is part of the Indian Government's Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. The applicant must provide proof of creation, including photographs, descriptions and sketches, and pay the associated fees. Once approved, the design will be registered and protected for a period of ten years.
