Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

What is an Industrial Design?

 An industrial design refers to the visual appearance of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. It protects the aesthetic aspects of a product rather than its technical or functional features, ensuring that the unique look of your product cannot be copied without permission.

Q.

What types of products can be protected through industrial design registration?

 Industrial design protection applies to the visual appearance of products such as consumer goods, packaging, electronics, furniture, and more—provided the design is new and distinctive.

Q.

How long does industrial design protection last in the UAE?

 Industrial design protection in the UAE is generally granted for 10 years from the filing date, subject to applicable laws and regulations.

Q.

What is the difference between industrial design registration and a patent?

 Industrial design registration protects the visual appearance of a product, while a patent protects its technical functionality or innovation.
