Designs
Substantive Examination System(SES)
3) Drawings
Drawings appended to a design application should contain:
-
the article that is the object of the design;
-
a description of the design and essential components of the creation; and
-
serial numbers of the design (only if the application is for multiple design registrations).
The description of a design is not as important as the specification of a patent or utility model application so long as the drawings of the design are correctly and properly prepared. An applicant for design registration may submit a photograph or a sample of the design instead of drawing(s).
Drawings may contain a perspective view, a front view, a rear view, a right side view, a left side view, a top view, a bottom view and other views (e.g. a sectional view) if it is necessary or useful in describing the design. Where the article representing the design is of a flat shape, only the top and the rear views need to be included in the drawings.
