This ornamental aspect maybe constituted by elements, which are threedimensional (the shape of the article) or twodimensional (lines, designs, patterns and colours) but must not be dictated solely or essentially by technical or functional considerations. It is the right to protect the ornamental, nonfunctional features of an Industrial Article or Product that arise from Design Activity.  \nTo be eligible for Industrial Design Protection in this country, Industrial Designs must be Original or Novel and must be Registered atthe Intellectual Property Office, Third Floor, Capital Plaza, 11-13 Frederick Street, Port of Spain.  \nWHAT KIND OF RIGHTS DOES  \nINDUSTRIAL DESIGN INVOLVE?  \nProtection of an industrial design means that third parties not having the consent of the owner of the protected Industrial Design are not permitted to produce copies, or what is substantially a copy, of the protected design, when such acts are undertaken for commercial purposes.  \nAn Industrial Design is registrable if it is new. The rights to registration of an Industrial Design belong to the Creator.  \nFor example: The shapes of many ergonomically designed pieces of furniture, tools, tool handles, boat hullsand sunglasses are just a smattering of the many shapes around us that are protected by Industrial Design.  \nHOW TO APPLY FOR  \nINDUSTRIAL DESIGN RIGHTS IN  \nTRINIDAD AND TOBAGO?  \n1.
