INDUSTRIAL DESIGN LAW
Principal is not the proprietor of the right to the Community design
• Article 14(3) uses the term ‘employer’ to refer to the proprietor of the Community design developed in the context of an employment relationship rather than the much broader term ‘principal’.
Unregistered design
• The right to the Community design vests in the designer, unless it has been assigned by way of contract to his successor in title.
