An industrial design is a type of intellectual property right that protects the outer appearance of a product. It is related to its design, pattern and colour. A properly and timely protected industrial design is an important part of a company’s assets that could be traded, licensed, etc. A registered industrial design grants the owner an exclusive right to use it and prevents others without their consent from using it.
