In the article below, Long Phan will provide customers with information related to this topic.

What is industrial design?

According to Clause 13, Article 4 of the Law on Intellectual Property 2005, amended and supplemented in 2022, industrial design is the external appearance of a product or part of a product that can be assembled into a complex product. This style is expressed by elements such as shape, line, color, or a combination of these elements. Industrial designs are visible in the process of exploiting the uses of products or complex products.

Thus, industrial design is an important factor in creating differences in appearance between products. This not only attracts customers but also helps products stand out in the market, enhancing commercial value and competitiveness for businesses.
