Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

DESIGNS ACT 2003 - SECT 22

  (1)   A single design application may be in respect of:

  (a)   one design in relation to one product; or

  (b)   one design that is a common design in relation to more than one product; or

  (c)   more than one design in relation to one product; or

  (d)   more than one design in relation to more than one product, if each product belongs to the same Locarno Agreement class.

  (2)   If more than one design is disclosed in a design application, the entitled person or persons must be the same in relation to each design.

Note:   This means that a separate application must be made in respect of designs with a different entitled person or persons.

  (3)   To avoid doubt, a design that is a common design in relation to more than one product is a design in relation to each product.
