Designs
An industrial design is the ornamental or aesthetic aspect
of an article. The design may consist of three-dimensional
features, such as the shape or surface of an article, or of
two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines or color.
The most common method of copyrighting a design is to register it.
Registering a design gives you sole rights to that particular design.
It protects your product from unauthorised commercial use, making
it easier to keep imitators away and thus maintaining the strength of
your competitive advantage. Design registration protects only the form
or appearance of the product, and does not cover the underlying
technical idea or the function of the product.
