Industrial Design
A design refers to the visual features of an article such as shape, pattern, or ornamentation applied through an industrial process, which appeal to and are judged solely by the eye, excluding functional or mechanical aspects. The registration of a design provides statutory protection to the proprietors in respect of their design applied to the article.

A trade mark is a sign or mark capable of being represented graphically and of distinguishing the goods or services of one person from those of others.

Copyrights
Copyright is a right given by the law to creators of literary (computer program), dramatic, musical and artistic works and producers of cinematograph films and sound recordings. Acquisition of copyright ownership is automatic, and does not require any compulsory registration. However, the certificate of registration and the entries made therein serve as prima facie evidence in a court of law with reference to disputes relating to ownership of the copyright.

Geographical Indication
Geographical Indications of Goods are defined as that aspect of industrial property which refers to the geographical indication referring to a country or to a place situated therein as being the country or place of origin of that product. Typically, such a name conveys an assurance of quality and distinctiveness which is essentially attributable to the fact of its origin in that defined geographical locality, region or country.
