Design rights - ishoken (English) design rights
A type of industrial property. An exclusive right to exclusively work a registered design or similar designs on a specified item in a commercial capacity. It is mainly regulated by the Design Law (Law No. 125 of 1959). The requirements for registration are industrial applicability, novelty, and originality, and it is necessary that the design does not violate public order and morals and that there is no risk of confusion as to its origin. A design is a design devised for a product, and according to the provisions of the Design Law, it is defined as "the shape, pattern, or color of an article, or a combination of these, which evokes a sense of beauty through the eye." Designs are protected by the Design Law from the standpoint of respecting individual creativity and promoting industry, but in order to receive legal protection, an application for design registration must be filed with the Japan Patent Office and registered in the original register. In addition to ordinary designs, there are systems for similar designs (→ similar design system), secret designs, and set designs.
