Design Legislation

There are currently four different kinds of design rights in force in the UK, and they all have their roots in the Hague Agreement of 1925 and the subsequent Hague Act of 1960. They are:

  • UK Registered Design Right established by the Registered Designs Act 1949;
  • UK Unregistered Design Right established by Part III of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988;
  • Community Registered Design Right established by Council Regulation on Community Designs (6/2002/EC); and
  • Community Unregistered Design Right established by Council Regulation on Community Designs (6/2002/EC).
