If you are the owner of a product then you can register its design to protect the visual appearance. Registration protects your design from being used without your permission. You can register your design for up to ten years.
Your design must be new and distinctive to be registered. Conduct a search of the IP Australia databases to make sure your design hasn’t already been registered.
What to do...
- Read about designs on the IP Australia website.
- See IP Australia’s information on the registration process before you apply.
- If you are involved in the fashion industry, you can find specific intellectual property information on the IP Fashion Rules website.
