ABSTRACT


Design law is one of the 4 pillars of Intellectual Property in India, with all 4 playing a unique and crucial part in protecting a product and/or business. Despite this, statistics have shown that design registrations are heavily underutilized, especially when compared to the other 3 sub-fields of Intellectual Property. There may be a number of reasons for this, including but not limited to the lack of innovation in India, the fact that design law is often only utilized by the elite, the general masses often lack awareness of the field in general, etc. This article looks to explore the various possible reasons for the underutilization of design law as well as some possible ways to remedy this.
