Industrial design displays different components or features that can be sensed by human senses, such as line, shape, form, color, texture, material, or flexibility as a whole or as a part of a product or the ornamentation on it. The product, on the other hand, consists of a coherent system or its parts and comprises things such as graphic symbols, packaging or patterns on packaging, sets, units, and so on, which can be created industrially or manually. In order to affect the target audiences of trademarks, industrial design is created using a combination of cutting-edge technological equipment and creativity. Moreover, industrial design is also essential for establishing a positive image.
Fabrics, patterns, packaging, furniture, and machine designs all differ and have an influence on design. Therefore, in order to be protected, it must be registered. Customer satisfaction is at the forefront of being the preferred trademark and name because customers choose the company with which they will be satisfied. As a result, trademarks consider key characteristics to ensure customer satisfaction. These features include the design’s distinct nature, innovation, being a part of a product or a product itself, and being perceived by the human senses.
In the 1970s, industrial design as a profession gained popularity in Turkey. Until the 1970s, it was attempted to fill the gap in this field by providing services in fields such as architecture and the like, but it has become an unavoidable necessity to train qualified people in the field of industry. Thus, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University founded the first “Industrial Products Design” department, and schooling began. Despite the fact that the university department was founded at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul Technical University organized Industrial Design Education seminars in 1950.
Industrial Design registration has a wide range; it applies to many products such as furniture, household appliances, electrical or non-electrical appliances, jewellery, carpets, and fabric patterns, among others. There are the main important features required for an object to be registered as an Industrial Design according to Decree Law No. 554. The product, which is subject to Industrial Design Registration, has to meet the innovation criterion and have a distinctive feature. Should the same or similar product that is the subject of the Industrial Design be presented to the public before the application date, the innovation and distinctive feature criteria are no longer valid.
The protection of the Industrial Design Certificate lasts up to 25 years, with a renewal every 5 years from the date of application. After 25 years, the product becomes public property, and no protection applies. Because the registration protection incorporates territoriality, the document is only protected within Turkey’s boundaries.

The process of examining the designs you want to manufacture or develop using the registration number, the applicant, the Locarno Class, the product name, or the designer’s name to see if there has been a previous registration application and reporting it to you is known as “Design Research.” Using this research method, you will be able to avoid potential time and expense losses in the production and registration stages of the designs you wish to manufacture or develop.
Packaging, models, patterns, and spare part designs that influence purchase decisions are complicated and time-consuming tasks. It is not enough to register your designs that highlight the visuality of the product, especially in sectors such as textiles, furniture, machinery, and food; you must follow-up your designs.
