Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

DESIGNS ACT 2003 - SECT 22

             (1)  A single design application may be in respect of:

                     (a)  one design in relation to one product; or

                     (b)  one design that is a common design in relation to more than one product; or

                     (c)  more than one design in relation to one product; or

                     (d)  more than one design in relation to more than one product, if each product belongs to the same Locarno Agreement class.

             (2)  If more than one design is disclosed in a design application, the entitled person or persons must be the same in relation to each design.

Note:          This means that a separate application must be made in respect of designs with a different entitled person or persons.

             (3)  To avoid doubt, a design that is a common design in relation to more than one product is a design in relation to each product.
