2014 CHAPTER 18

Commentary

Part 1: DESIGNS

Section 4: Infringement of unregistered designs: exceptions

20.These exceptions to infringement of unregistered design right mirror those in the RDA and harmonise with the EU Regulation.

21.New section 244A introduces protection from infringement for private acts, experiments and teaching. The intention is that acts done privately and for no commercial purpose, or (where certain conditions are met) acts done for teaching purposes, should not infringe unregistered design right. For example, a school teacher in carpentry will be able to demonstrate how to produce design protected features without infringing the design right (provided that the specified conditions are met). Similarly, the exception for acts done for experimental purposes is to allow inspiration from existing designs to encourage innovation. These defences are similar to those found in relation to copyright (see for example section 32 of the CDPA).

22.New section 244B creates exceptions relating to overseas ships and aircrafts. This provision mirrors an equivalent exception in section 7A(2)(d) of the RDA and Article 20(2)(a) of the EU Regulation.

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.
