Q&A

Question: Are there advantages to registering a design?

Answer:

The main advantage of registering a design and receiving a certificate of examination is that it gives you a legally enforceable right to commercialise your design. This means you are able to use, licence or sell your design. It also means you can take actions to stop others from commercially using your design without your permission.
