Registering an industrial design in Peru protects the visual appearance of your product — its lines, contours, form, and ornamentation. Our team at Brealant manages your application before INDECOPI from filing through to registration.

Legal Definition of a Registered Design
An industrial design registration under Decision 486, implemented via Legislative Decree 1075, protects the particular appearance of a product resulting from its lines, contours, form, texture, or materials, without altering the product's intended purpose.
Purpose and Function of Design Registration
Registration gives you a single 10-year term of protection from the filing date, granted after INDECOPI's Dirección de Invenciones y Nuevas Tecnologías (DIN) completes a formal review and publication process.
Protecting Your Product's Appearance
A registered design gives you documented, dated proof of ownership over your product's appearance, distinct from the protection available through trademark or copyright.

In Peru, a registrable industrial design must be new, and is protected through representations — drawings or photographs — filed with the application. INDECOPI checks the application, publishes it for potential opposition, and grants registration once that process concludes without a successful challenge.
A registered design gives you documented, dated proof of ownership over your product's appearance and the ability to stop competitors from copying it, for a full 10 years from filing. Brealant manages the application so this protection is secured correctly from the outset.
Certain elements cannot be protected through design registration, including
Function Alone
Appearance dictated solely by the product's technical function, without an arbitrary aesthetic choice, generally isn't protectable as a design.
Non-Novel Designs
Designs identical or insufficiently different from something already publicly disclosed before filing.
Your Own Prior Disclosure
Designs you've already sold or shown publicly before filing, subject to a limited grace period.
Contrary to Public Order or Morality
Designs whose appearance offends public order or accepted principles of morality.
Underlying Methods or Ideas
The underlying method, idea, or function, as opposed to its specific visual expression.
Brealant reviews your product's design against these exclusions before filing, so there are no surprises during examination.
A registered design in Peru protects various visual elements of a product. The protection extends to

Form and Configuration
The three-dimensional shape of the product.
Texture and Materials
The tactile and material qualities that contribute to the product's visual appearance.
Ornamentation
Decorative features and finishes applied to the product's appearance.

Registrability Examination
If unopposed, or once any opposition is resolved, INDECOPI examines the design against Decision 486's requirements.

Registration
If accepted, INDECOPI grants a 10-year registration and issues the certificate.
Absent objections or opposition, design registration in Peru commonly takes around 6 to 10 months from filing; contested matters take considerably longer.
The cost of design registration depends on the number of designs filed

Brealant reviews your product's design against these exclusions before filing, so there are no surprises during examination.
Because Peruvian design registrations run for a single 10-year term with no renewal available, Brealant helps you plan around that fixed window — including monitoring for copying and, where appropriate, a fresh filing for any updated version of the product design well before the original term ends.
