the blend of applied art, architecture and engineering which attempts to develop physical solutions to meet particular needs
Industrial design is any original shape, pattern, or ornamentation applied to a manufactured article (it is assumed that more than 50 units will be sold) Examples: shape of a table, decoration on the handle of a spoon Industrial design has to be registered and is then protected via the Industrial Design Act This protection is used relatively rarely (when compared to patenting)
The professional service of creating and developing concepts and specifications that optimize the function, value, and appearance of products and systems for the mutual benefit of both user and manufacturer
Design refers to the features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation which can be judged by the eye in finished products Design registration is for manufactured products and NOT artistic designs In other words, registered designs protect the way manufactured products look
Refers to the features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornament (or any combination of those features) that, in a finished article, appeal to and are judged solely by the eye An industrial design registration grants the holder exclusive rights to make, import, sell, rent or offer or expose for sale or rent, any article with respect to which the design is registered and to which the design or a design not substantially different from the registered design has been applied
Core ID input relates to the human facing attributes of a product, including usability, ergonomics, aesthetics, style, image, feel and form ID can be defined more widely to encompass approaches to user understanding, conceptualisation and concept visualisation
An industrial design - or simply a design - is the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article produced by industry or handicraft; registration and renewals provide protection for, in most cases, up to 15 years
Design of products made by large-scale industry for mass distribution. Among the considerations for such products are structure, operation, appearance, and conformance to production, distribution, and selling procedures; appearance is the principal consideration in industrial design. The International Council of Societies of Industrial Design was founded in London in 1957 and within 25 years had members in more than 40 countries. Two significant trends have persisted: streamlining, a design principle pioneered by Raymond Loewy and others in the 1930s; and planned obsolescence, design changes that tempt owners to replace goods with new purchases more frequently than would normally be necessary
The visual features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornament (or any combination of these features), applied to a finished article of manufacture
