Article 15 Statement of novelty on representations or specimens

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Except in the case of an application to register the pattern or ornament of a design to be applied to a textile article, to wallpaper or similar wall covering or to lace or to sets of textile articles or lace, a statement satisfactory to the registrar of the features of the design for which novelty is claimed shall appear on each representation or specimen of the design.

(2)

The statement referred to in paragraph (1) above shall appear on the front of the first sheet only of each representation or specimen (except where the registrar is satisfied that this is impracticable in which case it shall appear in a place satisfactory to the registrar) and it shall be separate from any other statement or disclaimer.
