A design is the visible form of a two-dimensional (patterns, such as fabric designs) or three-dimensional (models such as tooth brushes) object. The form is characterized through the use of lines, contours, colors, surfaces or materials.

A design can be protected when it is new and is distinguished from prior forms in significant points, and if it is not contrary to public morality or law. In addition, the form of a model must be more than just that which would be functionally necessary for the object.

Information on other protective rights can be found on the intellectual property.

Design is what grabs our eye and often makes us want to buy. Good design is expensive and time-intensive to develop. You, not imitators and plagiarizers, should reap the fruits of your labor.

The owner of the right to a design can prohibit others from using products with the same or similar design for commercial purposes, i.e., producing, importing, and exporting.
