Industrial design is a testament to ingenuity, shaping the form and aesthetics of materials through intricate methods. At Sampanna Capital, we recognize the profound impact of safeguarding these creations, and our Industrial Design Services are tailored to uphold your innovative designs. From design ownership to registration and beyond, we guide you through the nuanced world of design protection, ensuring your artistic endeavors remain secure and celebrated.
Rights and Registration: Nurturing Design Ownership
1. Ownership and Rights: Industrial design encapsulates the distinctive shapes and forms of materials, and ownership of these designs is a vital facet of creative expression. This ownership is established by registering the design with the Department.
2. Unauthorized Use Prevention: Once registered, your design gains protection against unauthorized replication or use. No entity can reproduce, manipulate, or imitate your design without obtaining written consent from the rightful owner, ensuring your creative integrity is respected.
3. Transfer of Ownership: Flexibility is inherent in design ownership. The ownership of a design can be transferred to another individual or entity, creating opportunities for collaboration and strategic utilization.
Embarking on the Design Registration Journey:
1. Application Submission: Initiating the design registration process involves submitting an application to the Department. This application should include:
- Detailed description, drawings, and sketches of the design.
- Four copies of the model representing the design.
- The prescribed application fee, as stipulated in the schedule.
2. Examination and Validation: The Department examines the application to ensure the design is new, original, and adheres to design standards. The uniqueness and artistic merit of the design are meticulously evaluated.
3. Registration and Renewal: Once the design is deemed registrable, the Department proceeds to register it under the applicant’s name. To obtain the certificate of registration, the applicant is required to pay the prescribed registration fee.
Safeguarding Creative Identity:
1. Un-Registrable Designs: Some designs may not be eligible for registration if they:
- Adversely affect individual or institutional dignity.
- Harm public well-being, morale, or national interest.
- Have already been registered under another name.
- Lack novelty or originality.
2. Cancellation and Renewal: The Department upholds the integrity of design registration by ensuring that designs adhere to registration criteria. In cases where designs no longer meet these criteria, the Department has the authority to cancel their registration.
