In a world of many nomenclature, one thing might described differently, here is why.

Design patents and industrial designs are essentially the same. They are called design patents in the United States and industrial designs in Indonesia. Design patents and industrial designs are very similar and serve the same purpose, protecting the ornamental aspects of a product.

In Indonesian Law Article 1 Paragraph (1) of Law 31/2000, industrial design is a creation about the shape, configuration, or composition of lines or colors, or lines and colors or a combination thereof in the form of three dimensions or two dimensions that gives an aesthetic impression and can be embodied in a three-dimensional or two-dimensional pattern and can be used to produce a product, goods, industrial commodities or handicrafts.  

Industrial design is the process of designing physical products that are usually manufactured on a large scale.A design patent is also a type of legal protection for the the visual appearance of a manufactured item which is its technological innovation, involving inventive steps, and industrial applicability. 

In other words, a design patent protects the ornamental aspect of an item that also serves a practical function.In other countries, a registered design may serve a similar purpose to a design patent.
