draft (temporary) registration (form)


Explanation:
Without much more context, this is a hunch. A "dessin" works as a nuance in certain usages of something that is "sketched up" or "proposed" before a final form is done.

registry design


Explanation:
You do not give much context, but something like this could be meant.

Of course I cannot give a higher level of confidence due to the lack of context.

Example sentence(s):
  • Automated registry design principles

neutral  Tony M: Unlikely, since 'registry' more usually translates 'registre' (not 'enregistrement') / Yes, but only in certain, quite specific, contexts.

  -> "Registry" can also mean the same as "registration" according to Collins Dictionary.

design concept (for patent proposal purposes)


Explanation:
Sounds long-winded, but given your newly-minted context, this is an attempt at helping put your arms around the term.

Asker: Thank you Timothy, I may well have to ping back to the client, but at least your help has prevented me from looking daft. You have been a lot more helpful than others I care not to mention. Thank you very much. Regards, Chris

design for registration


Explanation:
Guessing, like the rest of us. But it could refer to the drawing(s)/description *to be part of* a demande d'enregistrement not yet submitted (i.e., no dessin enregistré yet exists). One could imagine the phrase being elided like this in a spreadsheet cell.

recording symbol


Explanation:
Another (rather wild) guess. Just looking at it from a slightly different angle:
"Dessin" could be an image, a symbol, an icon
"Enregistrement" is often "recording" as in studio.
So maybe this is about recording sound for an advert. Or recording market research interviews.
