Industrial Design

An industrial design involves creating a visually appealing shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation for a product, commodity, or handicraft.
In Malaysia, the Industrial Designs Registry, part of the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), handles the processing of industrial design applications.

An industrial design registration is a crucial means of protecting the distinct visual appearance of a product, granting it exclusive rights in the market. This form of intellectual property focuses on preserving the unique elements that make the product visually appealing and eye-catching. The registration process centers around safeguarding the design, shape, pattern, ornament, or any combination of these features that contribute to the product’s distinctive appeal. By securing industrial design protection, businesses and innovators can prevent others from copying or imitating their product’s visual attribute
