An industrial design is an intellectual property right that protects the overall visual appearance of a product or a part of a product.
In practice an industrial design gives protection to the way a product looks. The appearance of this product may result from a combination of elements such as shapes, colours and materials.
A design in order to be protected must be new and must have individual character.
As per WIPO “Design is where function meets form. From tables to telephones, industrial design is one of the key factors that attracts us to a product, or leads us to prefer using one product over another.”
