Summary
Documentation examples added for Registered Design IP protection: USPTO certificate and multi-angle product images. Clarifies existing requirement without changing submission rules or eligibility.
Why it matters
IP rights owners now have explicit guidance on acceptable Registered Design proof formats within the IPPC. Reduces rejection risk from non-compliant documentation but introduces no new enforcement mechanisms or deadlines.
Recommended action
Review current Registered Design submissions for compliance with multi-angle image requirement. Update internal documentation templates if applicable. No urgent action required—guidance is clarificatory only.
