The Registered Designs (Amendment) Rules 2001
These Rules amend the Registered Designs Rules 1995 (S.I. 1995/2912 as amended by S.I. 1999/3196), consequent upon amendments made to the Registered Designs Act 1949 (c. 88) (“the 1949 Act”) by the Registered Designs Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/3949). Those regulations implement Directive 98/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13th October 1998 on the legal protection of designs (O.J. No. L289, 28.10.98, p. 28).
