No, design registration only protects the aesthetic look, shape, and configuration of the product. Functional utility is protected under patent law.
The registration is valid for 10 years, and can be extended by an additional 5 years (totaling 15 years) upon filing the extension request.
No, the design must be completely novel and not disclosed to the public anywhere in the world prior to the filing date. Launching before filing destroys novelty.
