IPR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Mass production is a
repeated automated
process, replicating
the details of the
design to be
incorporated.
The production or
manufacturing
process may also be
manual or chemical
or combination.
IPR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
The creative act of
designing and defining
the product form takes
place in advance
involving an individual
or a team.
IPR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Industrial Design

IPR
Industrial Design and
Product Design overlap
in many ways.
IPR
Industrial Design can
be a Design Patent.
IPR
The owner of an
Industrial Design has the
right to prevent third
parties form making and
selling the protected
design for commercial
purpose.
IPR
In most countries, an
Industrial Design
needs to be registered

protected under
industrial design law
as a Registered Design.
IPR
In some countries,
Industrial Designs are
protected under patent
law as Design Patents.
IPR
Depending on the
particular national law
and the kind of design,
Industrial Designs may
also be protected as
works of art under
Copyright Law.
IPR
In some countries
Industrial Design
protection is granted
for a limited time and
is termed as
Unregistered
Industrial Design.
IPR
Industrial Design rights are

The duration of the
protection of industrial
designs varies from country
to country, but is usually of
at least 10 years.
IPR
In many countries, the
total duration of
protection is divided into
successive renewable
periods usually of 5 years.
IPR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
An Industrial Design right
protects only the
appearance or aesthetic
features of a product.
Whereas a patent protects
an invention that offers a
new technical solution to a
problem.
IPR
An Industrial Design
right does not protect

Such features could be
protected by a Patent.
IPR
An Industrial Design
registration is granted if it

IPR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
The Hague System provides
a practical solution for
registering up to 100
Industrial Designs in a
large number of countries
through one single
international application.
IPR
The Hague System cannot be
used to protect an industrial
design in a country which is not
party to the Hague Agreement
or which is not a member State
of an inter-governmental

IPR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
In order to protect an
Industrial Design in
