Legal registration or protection is available for the shape (eg: shape of table or chair), configuration or ornamentation of a product which is new and not published.
Some Examples of what can be a registered design:
Bolt
Chair
Table
To be registrable, your design must be new and not yet in the public domain/marketplace. Once a design is released to the marketplace you will lose any chance of gaining exclusive rights to that design
