    In the competitive world of business, standing out is essential, and unique designs play a pivotal role in defining your brand’s identity. Whether it’s a product’s shape, pattern, ornamentation, or any other aesthetic feature, your design distinguishes your offerings from the competition. However, to fully capitalize on your creative efforts, it’s crucial to protect these designs from being copied or misused.
