A list which displays the kind of information which is required to complete the procedure. e.g. 1. Date of Birth. 2. City or County of Birth.
Having a design registered grants you an exclusive right and prevents others from using it. No one else can manufacture, sell, import or hire a product that infringes your design protection.
In the event that someone would use your protected design, despite you drawing their attention to the fact that you have design protection, you could be able to take pursue legal action. The Patent and Market Court can then ban the infringer from continuing to use it, and you can receive damages. Sometimes the court can even impose a fine or prison sentence.
