When does the Applicant for Registration of Design get the registration certificate?

Once an applicant submits a design for registration and it meets all the required conditions, it is reviewed and approved by the authorities. After approval, the design is officially registered, and the applicant receives a registration certificate as proof of ownership. This certificate confirms that the design is protected under the law and cannot be copied or used by others without permission.

However, if the applicant needs a certified copy of this registration certificate for legal matters, such as filing a lawsuit against infringement, they must make a separate request to the Controller. Along with this request, a prescribed fee must be paid. The certified copy serves as an official legal document that can be presented in court or other legal proceedings to assert the applicant’s rights over the design. This ensures that the creator has strong legal backing to protect their work from unauthorized use or duplication.
