Intellectual property rights protect creative works and inventions. Industrial designs refer to the ornamental appearance of products and are protected through design rights and registration. The owner of a registered industrial design has the rights to stop others from copying, making similar versions, or importing copies of the protected design. Registering an industrial design requires documents like photos of the design, a power of attorney, and proof of any priority claim, as well as following steps such as identifying the design class and including statements of novelty.
