A design is the external appearance of anything that is non-functional, and has been created primarily for aesthetic appeal. An industrial design may refer to the shape, embodied in three dimensional configuration, lines, colours or a combination of such elements that gives your product a distinctive look and feel, and must be something new.

Invenco’s designs group has assisted a large number of companies to obtain registered design protection locally and overseas, so that they get the exclusive rights to use it commercially, and licence or sell it for monetary profit.

Design protection is valid for a period of 15 years
