According to the Slovenian Industrial Property Act, an industrial design means the outward appearance of the whole or a part of a product, resulting from the features of, in particular, the lines, contours, colours, shape, texture and/or materials of the product itself and/or its ornamentation.

A registered industrial design confers on its owner the exclusive right to use it and the right to prevent any third party not having his consent from using it. Such use covers, in particular, the making, offering, putting on the market, importing, exporting or using of a product to which the design is applied, or stocking such a product for those purposes.
