What industrial design services can we help you with?
Our design protection team understands business, product development, and the real commercial value of visual innovation. Stay ahead of potential issues with our proactive and comprehensive legal services, such as:
Industrial Design Registration
Registering your industrial design is the most effective way to establish and enforce your exclusive rights over your product’s appearance. Our team conducts thorough novelty searches to assess your design’s registrability, prepares detailed visual representations and documentation, and files your application with the appropriate intellectual property office. We handle every technical and procedural detail to give your application the strongest possible foundation.
Design Novelty & Registrability Searches
Before investing in registration, it’s critical to understand whether your design is truly novel and registrable. Our team conducts comprehensive searches across existing design databases, prior art, and competitor portfolios to assess your design’s uniqueness and registrability — helping you make informed decisions and avoid costly rejections or disputes down the line.
Assistance with Design Prosecution
Navigating objections and office actions from the design registry can be complex and time-sensitive. With Verum Legal, you’ll have experienced design attorneys crafting technically sound and legally effective responses to objections — keeping your application on the fastest path to registration and ensuring your rights are secured without unnecessary delay.
Design Infringement & Litigation
Unauthorized copying of your registered design can devastate your market position and brand identity. We investigate potential infringements, issue cease-and-desist notices, and pursue all available legal remedies to stop violations and protect your competitive advantage. When disputes escalate, our skilled litigators represent your interests in court — defending against infringement claims or asserting your rights with strong, results-driven advocacy.
Design Portfolio Management & Licensing
Your design portfolio is a business asset that can generate revenue when strategically managed and licensed. We help you build, organize, and commercialize your design rights — drafting licensing agreements, structuring royalty arrangements, and ensuring every agreement is structured to protect your interests while maximizing the commercial return on your visual innovations.

Your Questions Answered
Some FAQs about industrial designs!
Looking to know more about industrial design protection for your business? Browse our FAQs:
An industrial design registration protects the visual and ornamental features of a product — including its shape, configuration, surface pattern, colour, or any combination of these — as long as those features are new and non-functional in nature. It does not protect how the product works; that is the domain of patents.
An industrial design protects the visual appearance of a product, while a patent protects its functional invention — how it works or what it does. Many businesses benefit from both types of protection simultaneously, and our team can advise you on the right combination of IP protection for your product.
Yes. We assist with international design filings under frameworks like the Hague System administered by WIPO, enabling you to seek protection in multiple countries through a single application — efficiently and cost-effectively securing your design rights across key markets.
In India, industrial design protection is initially granted for ten years and can be renewed for a further five years, for a maximum term of fifteen years. Protection periods vary by jurisdiction, and our team will advise you on the optimal strategy for maintaining your rights across all relevant markets.
Our attorneys will assess the situation, advise you on your legal options, and take swift action — from cease-and-desist notices to full litigation — to stop the copying, remove infringing products from the market, and recover damages where applicable.
It is strongly advisable to file your design registration application before publicly launching your product. Public disclosure before filing can affect the novelty of your design and potentially bar you from obtaining registration in certain jurisdictions. Our team can help you plan your IP filing strategy around your product launch timeline.
