From shape and configuration to patterns, ornamentation, and composition of lines or colors, a unique design can significantly influence consumer choice. At MAK LAW, we provide comprehensive legal services for design registration, helping businesses protect and enforce their design rights.
Design protection secures the visual identity of a product—its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation—against imitation. In India, these rights are governed by the Designs Act, 2000, which provides statutory protection to original designs and enables action against unauthorized copying that can dilute brand value and market distinctiveness.
At MAK LAW, we go beyond registration—we protect what makes your product recognisable in the market. Our approach is aligned with the legal framework under the Designs Act and Rules, ensuring your designs meet the requirements of novelty and originality while being positioned for strong, enforceable protection.
We handle filings with a strategic lens—advising on classifications, prior disclosures, and how your design interacts with other forms of intellectual property. The objective is not just registration, but securing rights that stand firm under legal scrutiny and commercial use.
When infringement arises, we act with precision using remedies available under Indian law, including injunctions and damages. From cease and desist notices to litigation and enforcement actions, we work to stop unauthorized use and protect your competitive edge.
From registration and portfolio management to enforcement and commercialisation, we ensure your designs are not just protected under law—but actively defended in the market.
