INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PATENTS

An Industrial Design Patent refers to the legal protection granted for the aesthetic aspects of a product's visual design, including its shape, pattern, or ornamentation. It safeguards the external appearance, not the functional or structural elements, allowing the patent holder to prevent others from manufacturing, selling, or importing products with similar designs. This right is typically granted for a specific term, subject to renewal, and requires novelty, originality, and non-obviousness within the industrial or commercial context.

UTILITY PATENTS

An Invention Utility Patent is a form of intellectual property protection granted for new, useful, and non-obvious inventions or discoveries related to a process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter. It protects the functional and operational aspects of the invention, allowing the patent holder exclusive rights to make, use, sell, or license the invention for a limited time, typically 20 years from the filing date, in exchange for public disclosure of the invention's technical details.
