Pakistani Design laws protect new and original designs which appeal to the eye. Protection is afforded to features such as shape, configuration, surface ornamentation or patterns applied to an article. In legal sense, an industrial design constitutes the ornamental aspect of an article, an industrial design may consist of three-dimensional features, such as the shape of an article, or two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines or color.
In Pakistan, The Registered Designs Ordinance, 2000 governs and deals with the mechanism of registration and protection of Industrial Designs. There are two types of Industrial Design Applications (i) Non-Convention Application & (ii) Convention Application. The Registration Term of the Industrial Design is 30 years from the Date of Application, with the first renewal due at the end of the 10th year and the second renewal at the end of the 20th year. The Effective Date of Registration of the Industrial Design is the Priority Date. The Time Frame for Examination from the Date of Application in Pakistan is 2 months approximately. An Opposition against the Industrial Design Application can’t be raised in Pakistan.
