UPES student Somya Sharma, from School of Design, has earned a certificate of design registration from The Patent Office, Government of India, under the able guidance of Prof. Avnish Gautam. The duo jointly designed a unique candle holder “Meenak” for home decor, based on the work of photographer Mirjam Letsch. As a part of this registration, the team will have the right to use and exploit that design by applying it to any product, license others to use the product, transfer partial or total ownership to others, and protect their dominion over the product.
