Industrial Design Registration

Industrial design protection safeguards the aesthetic appearance of a product, including its shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation, or combination of these features. Registering an industrial design grants the owner exclusive rights to prevent unauthorized use or imitation of the registered design.

At Shane Phone Thaw Co., Ltd., we provide comprehensive industrial design registration services for both domestic and international clients, ensuring that valuable product designs are effectively protected in Myanmar.

Initial Consultation

Our professionals review your design and advise on registrability, filing requirements, and the appropriate protection strategy under the Myanmar Industrial Design Law.
