A registered design in India protects the aesthetic features of an article — its shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation — as applied to any article. Registration is granted by the Patent Office (Design Wing) for designs that are new and original and have not been disclosed publicly before filing. SS Marks assesses novelty, prepares the representations/drawings and files the application.

Frequently asked questions
What types of designs can be registered in India?
Any new and original design applied to an article — shape, configuration, pattern, ornament or composition of lines or colours. The design must be applied to a finished article by an industrial process.

What is the difference between a design patent and a trademark?
A design protects the visual appearance of a product; a trademark protects a brand name, logo or slogan. A product can have both — registered design for its shape and a trademark for its branding.
Can I register a design that has been disclosed publicly?
No. Public disclosure before the application date destroys novelty. Contact us to know the exact pricing for your requirement.
How long does design registration take in India?
Design registration is one of the faster IP registrations in India — typically 3–6 months from filing to certificate, subject to Patent Office workload and any examination objections.
