Paragraph 14 Renewal of registration of an expired international designF1

the international registration to which an expired international design was subject is renewed in accordance with Article 17(2) of the Geneva Act,

the renewal has effect in respect of the European Union and the expired international design, and

the holder of that international registration notifies the registrar of such renewal, the registrar must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of notification, record in the register of designs the extension of the period for which subsists the right in the re-registered international design which derives from the expired international design.

anything done under or in relation to the right in the period beginning with IP completion day and ending with the extension under sub-paragraph (1) is to be treated as valid,

an act which would have constituted an infringement of the right if it had not expired is to be treated as an infringement, and

an act which would have constituted use of the design for the services of the Crown if the right had not expired is to be treated as such use.

the registrar must remove from the register of designs the re-registered international design which derives from the expired international design, and

the re-registered international design ceases with effect from IP completion day to be treated as if it had been registered under this Act.
