How soon can articles made to a design be manufactured and sold?
Any time after the application has been filed. Before that date, extreme care is needed to ensure that the design is not made available or disclosed to the public in any way whatsoever — otherwise registration might not be obtainable. However, a design may be displayed at an exhibition certified by the Department of Trade and Industry before applying, as long as such application is made within six months of the opening of the exhibition.
DO REGISTERED DESIGNS HAVE OTHER USES?
Yes. Existing registered designs provide a large amount of technical and commercial information concerning the latest developments in product design.
DOES THE DESIGNS REGISTRY PROVIDE
ANY OTHER SERVICES?
Yes The Registry will conduct a search (on payment of a fee) to determine whether a design resembles a registered design. This is distinct from the search conducted as part of the processing of a registered design application.
