(d) Rule 23(1A) of and Schedule 1 to the Design Right (Proceedings before Comptroller)

Rules 1989 (S.I. 1989/1130).

The amendments in rules 2 to 5 remove references to “an EEA State” in the above rules and insert

a reference to Gibraltar so that with effect from 1st January 2021 (“the Commencement Date”) an

address for service for the purposes of any proceedings to which the above rules relate, must be an

address in the United Kingdom, Gibraltar or the Channel Islands.

Rule 6 provides a transitional and saving provision in relation to cases where proceedings are

pending as at the Commencement Date.

Rule 7 provides a transitional and saving provision in relation to applications for the grant of a

patent or the registration of a trade mark or registered design which are pending as at the

Commencement Date.

(EU) and re-registered designs. Such proprietors may retain an address for service in an EEA State

in respect of those rights for a period of 3 years from the Commencement Date (or longer if, at the

expiry of that period, they are engaged in proceedings at that date).

A de minimis impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of

business, the voluntary sector and the public sector has been produced.
