1. Industrial design registration includes the product’s shape, structure, lines, and other elements. It is necessary to register the industrial design in order to protect the company’s design; otherwise, it may be imitated or used by others. 2. If there are similarities with the product designs of other parties, individual industrial design registration may be rejected. 3. The protection period for industrial design is 10 years (starting from the application date) and cannot be extended. A new submission can be made if there is a design development for a previous product. 4. During the industrial design registration process, it is important to maintain the confidentiality of all industrial designs. What is protected is the physical product, so care must be taken not to disclose it publicly on any media. |
