In last three years India witnessed a huge change in the Intellectual Property Laws and procedures thereto.

Specially, government has taken leap steps in field of Designs. As the design is the base of manufacturing industry. A design can be understood by the complete shape of any product manufactured at industrial scale. Designs due to their specific nature cannot fall under Trademark Act or Copyright Act, however, in order to protect the uniqueness of Design, in India Design Act was enacted.
