Design is the ability to create a product that goes beyond the ordinary by adding aesthetics to any product. The design application serves to protect the external appearance of these products. This type of application was known as "Industrial Design Application" before 2017, then the term "industry" was removed with the new law adopted in 2017. The reason is that any kind of product aesthetically appealling to the eye and meeting the conditions specified in the law can be the subject of an application.

In this article, I would like to give you some examples of what can be the subject of a design application. First of all, textile products can be protected in terms of clothing or patterns. The outer appearance of footwear, as well as the appearance of their soles, are subject to design.
