Article 5 Formal requirements
An application for the registration of a design shall comply with the first and second requirement.
The first requirement is that the applicant has specified the product to which the design is intended to be applied or in which it is intended to be incorporated.
The second requirement is that the dimensions of any specimen of the design filed under rule 4(1)(b)(ii) shall not exceed 29.7cm x 21cm x 1cm.
Where the applicant files a representation of the design after being notified under rule 8(1) that the application does not comply with the second requirement—
that representation shall be deemed to have been filed under rule 4(1)(b)(i); and
any specimen filed under rule 4(1)(b)(ii) shall be treated as not having been filed.
Nothing done to comply with the first requirement shall be taken to affect the scope of the protection conferred by the registration of a design.
