Filing in India

Using Class 08-05 in a Design Application

The Designs Office classifies articles by the current edition of the Locarno Classification (rule 10(1), Designs Rules, 2001). The application in Form 1 must state the class and the article to which the design is applied.

Name the article in the words of the list where they fit, and give the class and subclass.
One application covers one class. To register the same design in another class of article, file a separate application in that class.
If the class is in doubt, the Controller decides it, in consultation with the applicant where required.
