Design Search support from our Design team, handled end-to-end as part of our Intellectual Property practice.
A standard design novelty search is completed within 3 to 5 business days. Expedited searches can be delivered within 48 hours. International design searches covering multiple jurisdictions take 5 to 7 business days.
We make legal and intellectual property filings seamless, secure, and fully transparent. Here is how we handle your assignment from start to finish:
Understand your goals, check eligibility, and draft the filing roadmap.
Collect required records and conduct compliance checks for errors.
Draft and submit applications to the registry within 48 business hours.
Monitor application progress and respond to office actions/objections.
Handover certified registrations and provide post-filing support.
We search the Indian Design Registry database, WIPO Global Design Database (Hague System), USPTO Design Patent database, EPO DesignView, and other relevant national registries based on the target markets.
A design is considered novel if it has not been previously published or registered anywhere in the world before the date of the application. The overall visual impression — shape, configuration, pattern, ornament, or composition of lines/colours — must be new and original.
While not legally mandatory, a design search is strongly recommended to avoid filing for a design that is likely to be refused for lack of novelty, saving time and government fees.
