Commentary

Part 1: DESIGNS

Section 12: UK Registered designs – Use of directions by the registrar

45.This section enables the registrar to issue directions relating to the use of forms and to change the hours of business of the IPO in relation to designs matters, rather than having to rely on secondary legislation made by the Secretary of State. This brings the treatment of these design-related procedural matters in line with those relating to trade marks(8) and patents(9). Any directions issued by the registrar about the use of forms will be required to be published in a manner prescribed in rules, to ensure that the public continue to be aware of relevant changes.

46.Subsection (1) introduces a new section 31A into the RDA, which enables the registrar to issue directions relating to the use of forms.

47.Subsection (4) amends section 39(1) of the RDA so that the hours of business and excluded days may be specified by the registrar in directions, rather than by secondary legislation.

48.Subsections (5), (6) and (8) ensure that, until any new directions are given by the registrar, the current requirements as to forms and hours of business apply.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
