An application for the registration of an industrial design may relate to one external appearance of a product (a simple design application), or to a number of external appearances of products included in one class of the international classification of designs (a collective design application). The requirements are as follows:

1. Applicant’s name and address.
2. Creator’s name and address.
3. Power of attorney signed by the applicant (no legalization or certification is necessary).
4. Six sets of drawings or photographs of the design. If colored figures are filed, then the protection is restricted only to the filed color. Therefore, black and white drawings or photographs are recommended since the scope of protection is larger. Dotted lines are not allowed since the whole product must be clearly shown.
5. A determination of the product must be filed.
6. If applicant is not the creator, a deed of assignment signed by the creator must be filed.
7. Priority must be claimed upon filing (if any), indicating date and country of the application based on which right of priority is being claimed.
