Design is a form of intellectual property protection that concerns itself with the aesthetics of a product. It is solely for the protection of how the product looks like and not how it functions.

Safeguards

Safeguards available to your designs

These designs can be protected by registering them in the country you want to sell your product, or you know where your product will be of great value.

Registered designs allow owners to prevent others from manufacturing, importing, using, selling or hiring the protected design product.

Registering your design will also turn it into an asset which you can license out or sell it to an interested buyer.

Protection of a design is a per country basis. If you have filed a registration in a country, for example, in US, it does not mean that your design is protected too in Japan.

Consider carefully where you want to register your design as fees are different for each country.
