🎯 Every creation tells a story; copyright ensures it remains yours.

Every piece of creative work—be it a poem, a painting, a photograph, or a song—carries a unique story, a reflection of the creator's imagination and effort. Copyright serves as the invisible shield that safeguards this originality, granting creators the legal right to control how their work is used and shared. It ensures that the story remains theirs, empowering them to reap the rewards of their ingenuity while protecting their intellectual property from unauthorized use. With copyright, creators can confidently share their art with the world, knowing their narrative stays protected and credited to them.

The Design Rules, 2001 was further amended by Designs (Amendment) Rules 2008 and Designs (Amendment) Rules 2014. The last amendment in Designs Rules came into force on 30th December 2014, which incorporates a new category of the applicant as a small entity in addition to a natural person other than a small entity.
