About this deal

Question: does a change of ornaments on a shape change the shape or the concept related to the new function of a suitcase (fun shape on wheels) which can contain clothing and be pulled like a wheelie suitcase or sat on as a toy? It is not designated as appellate court in the Community Designs (Designation of Community Design Courts) Regulations 2005. It is possible, both for UK registered designs and RCDs, to file a single application which contains multiple designs. Despite this, but with considerable sympathy for Magmatic, the SC had to agree with the CoA in finding that the design of Kiddee Case was just too far removed from Magmatic's design registration to constitute an infringement.

To take the cube example above, a first design included in the application could be the line drawing as it is the broadest. emphasis added] All in all, the decision assists practitioners by emphasising the central importance of getting the representations right, strengthening the case for insisting that good drawings be prepared to maximise protection. Accordingly, as Kitchin LJ observed at para 42 of his judgment, “the various representations [in the CRD] are shown in monochrome, and so it must be concluded that this design is not limited to particular colours”, and therefore “PMS cannot point to the colour of the Kiddee Case as being a point of distinction”.We therefore recommend that designers seek professional assistance in considering the possible variations of a design to protect when filing design applications.

No matter how original and innovative a product is, a design registration only protects the appearance of the product rather than the clever idea or concept underlying it. The maker of Trunki ride-on suitcases for children has begun presenting its case in the UK’s supreme court in a legal battle with a Hong Kong firm that could have implications for small creative businesses that rely on design rights. All of this may also be seen as somewhat controversial since it hints at a role for surface decoration in cases where there is none shown in a CRD. He has described the court of appeal’s ruling as disastrous for hundreds of thousands of small creative British businesses.

However, the decision slightly glosses over the fact that it was the surface decoration of the Kiddee case (giving the impression of an insect with antennae in one embodiment, or a tiger with ears in another) that distanced the overall impression from being that of a horned creature. Therefore, although the High Court was correct to find that the CRD covered the design in all colours due to its monochrome representation, it wrongly disregarded the colour contrasts contained within the CRD.

However, while not completely solving this problem, a partial solution may lie in the use of traditional line drawings.SpecialKats: Verónica Rodríguez Arguijo (TechieKat), Hayleigh Bosher (Book Review Editor), Rose Hughes (PatKat), Tian Lu (Asia Correspondent) and Chijioke Okorie (Africa Correspondent). We take your privacy seriously and you can change your mailing prefe Due to the presence of these contrasting shades, the Supreme Court concluded that the registration was not “for the shape alone, but for one with a strap, strips and wheels and spokes in a colour (or possibly colours) which contrasted with that of the remainder of the product. The Supreme Court has ruled that a registered design strictly protects the shape of the item shown on the application form.
