Paragraph 8 Continuity of rights in relation to a protected international registered design (EU)F1

References to a protected international registered design (EU), or the international registration to which a protected international registered design (EU) is subject, in any document entered into before F2IP completion day shall, unless there is evidence that the document was not intended to have effect in the United Kingdom, be read on and after IP completion day as including references to the re-registered international design or the registration of the re-registered international design which derives from the protected international registered design (EU).

Subject to any agreement to the contrary, a consent granted before IP completion day by the holder of the international registration to which a protected international registered design (EU) is subject to the doing on or after IP completion day of an act in the United Kingdom which would otherwise infringe the re-registered international design which derives from the protected international registered design (EU) is to be treated for the purposes of section 7A as a consent to the doing of that act granted by the registered proprietor of the re-registered international design.
