EXPLANATORY NOTE.

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

The Regulations make a slight change to the Industrial Design Regulations 2002 by clarifying that a person, involved in any proceeding before the Controller of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks or a registered proprietor of a design, may have an address for service in the European Economic Area (EEA). The Regulations also amend Forms 1 and 1A in Schedule 2 to those Regulations by improving the layout of Forms 1 and 1A and also amending the address for service requirement to allow applicants to provide an address for service within the EEA.
