After receipt of an industrial design application, the patent office shall give it a sequential number, acknowledge the date of receipt and notify the notifier. After registration of an industrial design application, the patent Office examines the formal notification. The patent Office does not examine the objective novelty of the design, as is the case, eg. In the design by examination of the state of the art. Once it has been established and determined that an industrial design application has been correctly drawn up, the patent office shall issue a decision to grant the right of registration, subject to payment of the first period of protection. Upon payment of the protective fee, the patent office shall make an entry in the register of industrial designs and shall draw up the protection description of the design and issue a certificate of registration. The certificate of registration is a confirmation of the right of registration.
