What is the purpose of registration of Designs?

The purpose of the Designs Act is to safeguard new and original designs intended for use in manufacturing through industrial processes. In many cases, consumers consider not only the functionality of a product but also its visual appeal when making a purchase. Registering a design ensures that the creator or designer receives due recognition and protection, preventing others from using the design without permission. This legal protection helps innovators benefit from their creative efforts while maintaining the uniqueness of their designs in the market.
