Article 39 Notice of expiry of the right in a registered design

Where the right in a registered design has expired under section 8(3), the registrar shall, not later than six weeks after the date on which the right expired (and if an application for extension of the period for which the right subsists has still not been received by the registrar), send to the registered proprietor of the design a notice of that fact.

This rule does not apply to the right in a design registered in pursuance of an application made before 1st August 1989.
