Rectify a registered design

Any 'aggrieved' person, for example, the author of a design who is not recorded as the joint proprietor of a registered design can apply to the court to correct the register of designs.

Send us a copy of your application to;

Intellectual Property Office
Concept House

United Kingdom

The court will decide the issue, and if necessary instruct us how to correct the register.

Cancel or Invalidate someone else's registered design

If the design was registered before 9 December 2001 you may apply to cancel it.
