Design right form 2

Application to be made a party to proceedings

This is the second of four forms that relate to the Comptroller's* jurisdiction with regard to unregistered design right.

You should note the following:

  • Along with the form, you need to send us a statement, setting out your interest in the dispute.

The relevant legislation is set out in the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988. The rules governing these proceedings are The design right (Proceedings before Comptroller) Rules 1989.
