The term “design” is defined under Section 2(d) and 4 of the Design Act, 2000. Design refers to the shape, pattern, colour of the product. The design act can not protect the full garment but protects the design, shape or pattern. For the protection, the design should be registered under the Design Act, 2000. Unregistered designs are not protected by the act and no one can claim damages for their unregistered designs. The aim of this act is to protect the work from the piracy. According to me, every design whether registered or unregistered should be protected under this act and the procedure for registration of the design should be simplified.[10] Also there are certain designs which can’t be registered, including designs featuring scandalous graphics.
