Cap. 417 Art. 81Transmission of a registered design.

PART XIX

In forceOfficial text

(1) A registered design is tranmissible by assignment, testmentary disposition or operation of law in the same way as other personal or moveable property.

It is so transmissible either in connection with the goodwill of a business or independently.

(2) An assignment or other transmission of a registered design may be partial and limited so as to apply in relation to the use of the design in a particular manner or a particular locality.

(3) An assignment of a registered design is not effective unless it is in writing signed by or on behalf of the assignor or, as the case may be, his personal representative.

(4) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as affecting the assignment or other transmission of an unregistered design as part of the goodwill of a business.
