The Community Design (Amendment) Regulations 2014

These Regulations amend the Community Design Regulations 2005 (“the 2005 Regulations”) so that unintentional infringement of a registered or unregistered Community design in the UK cannot give rise to an order to pay damages. This amendment to the 2005 Regulations will ensure that where a person innocently infringes Community designs then they are liable on the same basis as that available in relation to innocent infringement of UK designs.
