An industrial design is the artistic decoration or aesthetic component of a product. It may include the shape of the product or elements such as reliefs, images, lines, or color design arranged on a surface. To obtain a patent, this intellectual property object must meet the criteria of originality and novelty.
Legal protection of an industrial design is implemented through a patent and ensures the protection of the product’s external appearance, design solutions, or technical drawings.
The patent for an industrial design remains valid for 10 years, which can be extended for an additional 5 years upon the client’s request.
