The problem with most intellectual property services nowadays is that they do not place the creator at the center.
As more and more people take control of their intellectual property registration, the new way to help creators is to empower them with knowledge.
It’s essential to understand that intellectual property ownership or title is a declaration, and accuracy is crucial. A mistake in the registration process can be costly and impact your business.
Information
A Registered Design in Canada
A registered design is a type of intellectual property right that protects the appearance of a product or a part of a product. The visual features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornament (or any combination of these) applied to a finished article, which have been registered under the Industrial Design Act and are therefore legally protected up to a period of 15 years.
How is a design "new"?
In simpler terms, a registered design is a design that:
1. Is new: The design must not have been disclosed to the public before the application for registration.
2. Has individual character: The design must have a distinct appearance that sets it apart from other designs.
3. Does not fall under exclusions: The design must not be excluded from protection due to specific reasons, such as being dictated solely by technical function or being a component part of a complex product.
