Wie dacht dat patenten een aardige juridische oorlog kunnen veroorzaken, die moet zich echt eens op "community design" gaan storten. Rode oortjes leesvoer ...

Article 1 Community design
1. A design which complies with the conditions contained in this Regulation is hereinafter referred to as a "Community design".
2. A design shall be protected:
[...]
Article 4 Requirements for protection
1. A design shall be protected by a Community design to the extent that it is new and has individual character.
2. A design applied to or incorporated in a product which constitutes a component part of a complex product shall only be considered to be new and to have individual character:
(a) if the component part, once it has been incorporated into the complex product, remains visible during normal use of the latter; and
(b) to the extent that those visible features of the component part fulfil in themselves the requirements as to novelty and individual character.
3. "Normal use" within the meaning of paragraph (2)(a) shall mean use by the end user, excluding maintenance, servicing or repair work.
Article 5 Novelty
1. A design shall be considered to be new if no identical design has been made available to the public:
(a) in the case of an unregistered Community design, before the date on which the design for which protection is claimed has first been made available to the public;
(b) in the case of a registered Community design, before the date of filing of the application for registration of the design for which protection is claimed, or, if priority is claimed, the date of priority.
2. Designs shall be deemed to be identical if their features differ only in immaterial details.
Article 6 Individual character
1. A design shall be considered to have individual character if the overall impression it produces on the informed user differs from the overall impression produced on such a user by any design which has been made available to the public:
(a) in the case of an unregistered Community design, before the date on which the design for which protection is claimed has first been made available to the public;
(b) in the case of a registered Community design, before the date of filing the application for registration or, if a priority is claimed, the date of priority.
2. In assessing individual character, the degree of freedom of the designer in developing the design shall be taken into consideration.
Ofwel, als ik het goed begrijp:
het moet een nieuw en individueel karakter hebben, b.v.:
- doordat er een nieuw, blijvend zichtbaar onderdeel in zit (=nieuw) of:
- er een nieuw niet eerder vertoont ontwerp gemaakt is (=nieuw)
en:
- de algehele indruk anders is dan van elk ander aan het publiek beschikbaar gemaakt ontwerp. (= individueel karatkter)
Dus een aangepast niet eerder vertoond ding met 1 nieuw blijvend zichtbaar icoon en je bent er ... een communicty design.
Bescherming is 5 jaar en kan verlengd met telkens 5 tot 25 jaar.
Moet iemand nog peultjes?
Welnu, ik laat me omscholen tot jurist, en ga me hier op storten. Werk zat tot mijn pensioen ...
edit: toegevoegd: Dus een aangepast ...[...] design.
