Industrial design refers to the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article that is produced by an industry. It includes the shape, configuration, pattern, or composition of lines or colors applied to any article. Industrial design protection is crucial for businesses to safeguard their creations from being copied or used without permission.
In India, industrial design protection is governed by the Designs Act, 2000, and the Designs Rules, 2001. The Act provides for the registration and protection of designs, and the Rules lay down the procedure for registration, the fees payable, and other related matters.
Increasing importance is currently being given to the protection of designs related to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things. With the growth of these technologies, the need to protect their unique designs and aesthetics has become essential.
