In Australia, the acquisition of patent application for design is divided into two parts: registration and certification. Both of these are required to legally exercise design rights. After IP Australia's 8-week preliminary review of the design, the design patent will obtain a patent certificate. If you want to exercise the design patent right, you must go through 13 weeks of IP Australia's review and reply, and you will be certified after passing.
- Registration: 2 weeks.
- Certification: 4 months.
via Paris Convention : 6 months from earliest priority date.
20 years, drug patents can apply for protection to 24 years.

- Didn't know the design needed to apply for protection before it was disclosed
A design patent application can enjoy a novelty grace period of 12 months.
