the following information:

transmitted to the Head Office in Kolkata for processing and prosecution.

Examination: Unlike the procedure followed in Patents, the Design applications are taken up for
examination by way of filing the application for registration of Design only. That is no separate request for
examination is required to be filed with the Indian Patent Office in this regard.

Notification of objections: If on examination defects are found in the application, the same would be
communicated to the applicant. The applicant is required to correct the defects and resubmit the
application to the Patent Office for acceptance within six months from the official date of the application.

Registration and An application is accepted when all the shortcomings raised in the
Publication:
Examination Report have been rectified. Once the Controller (after examination of the application) is
convinced that the design is new and/or original, he directs the registration and publication of the
particulars of the registered design along with the best view representing the article.

If accepted the Patent Office issues the registration Certificate and thereafter it is duly notified in the
(https://api.
Patent Office’s journal.

In case the objections are not rectified, a personal hearing is provided to the applicant. After hearing the
Controller decides whether the application should be accepted or not.
