Some goods are classified as textiles. The Registered Designs Rules 2000 defines this as "textile or plastics piece goods, handkerchiefs, shawls or such other class of articles of a similar character".

For the purposes of registration, protection is limited to features of pattern and ornament only. You should include a representation of your design as it applies to the textile article.

A statement of novelty is not required for registration of patterns or ornaments to be applied to textile articles, wallpaper or similar articles. You should insert "Nil" in this section if your design applies to such an article.
