DESIGN APPLICATION IN INDIA

In India a foreign applicant can file an application for a design registration for their industrial designs either as an ordinary application without claiming any priority or as a reciprocity application claiming priority from an application filed previously in a convention country. The deadline to file a reciprocity application is six months from the date of filing in convention country without any extension.
