Article 4 Decisions subject to appeal

Under these Rules an appeal lies from any decision of the registrar made under: sections 3A, 3B, 11, 11ZA to 11ZE, 11A and 11AB of the Registered Designs Act and sections 246, 247 and 248 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, including a decision which terminates the proceedings as regards one of the parties or a decision awarding costs to any party (“a final decision”) or a decision which is made at any point in the proceedings prior to a final decision (“an interim decision”).

An interim decision (including a decision refusing leave to appeal under this paragraph) may only be appealed against independently of any appeal against a final decision with the leave of the registrar.
