Chapter I Design right in original designs
Dealings with design right
222 Assignment and licences.
1
Design right is transmissible by assignment, by testamentary disposition or by operation of law, as personal or moveable property.
2
An assignment or other transmission of design right may be partial, that is, limited so as to apply—
a
to one or more, but not all, of the things the design right owner has the exclusive right to do;
b
to part, but not the whole, of the period for which the right is to subsist.
3
An assignment of design right is not effective unless it is in writing signed by or on behalf of the assignor.
4
A licence granted by the owner of design right is binding on every successor in title to his interest in the right, except a purchaser in good faith for valuable consideration and without notice (actual or constructive) of the licence or a person deriving title from such a purchaser; and references in this Part to doing anything with, or without, the licence of the design right owner shall be construed accordingly.
