Protecting the aesthetic and visual features of your products is as important as safeguarding the underlying innovation. At Intellect Goodwill LLP, we assist creators, designers, manufacturers, and businesses in securing Industrial Design protection to ensure that the unique look and feel of their products remain exclusively theirs.

Industrial Design registration safeguards the shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation, or composition of lines or colors applied to an article - giving you the exclusive right to prevent others from copying or imitating your product’s appearance.
