The Law of Designs - A Review of Key Principles

Introduction

The overlap of multiple potential rights has made design law a complex field.

As the 20th anniversary of the overhaul of design law approaches, this live broadcast session will review the principles and operation of the 'new' law of registered designs in the UK as well as the development of unregistered design right and the application of copyright principles to three dimensional products.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive session will cover the following:

• Fundamentals of registered designs, at community and national level
• Identifying the informed user
• Unregistered community designs
• UK unregistered design rights
• Protection of spare parts
• Ownership of rights
• Licensing designs
• Copyright in surface decoration
• The repeal of s52 - copyright in three dimensions post-Flos
