Industrial Design

More often than not, what a product looks like is more important than how it functions. Not only can the appearance of a product cause a consumer to select your product over those of your competitors, but it can become a defining part of your brand’s identity. As a result, many companies like you spend a tremendous amount of money, creating the right look or distinctive packaging for their products. Industrial design is the Intellectual Property rights that exist to protect that investment and forbid others from using your unique designs.

If you have a product that attracts customers because of its look, you should consider registering the design.
