10.—(1) Where the registered owner of a design registered in respect of an article or a non‑physical product files —(a) an application for registration of the registered design in respect of one or more other articles or non‑physical products; or (b) an application for registration of a design consisting of the registered design with modifications or variations not sufficient to alter the character or substantially to affect the identity of the registered design, in respect of the same or one or more other articles or non‑physical products, the application must not be refused, and the registration made on the application must not be revoked, by reason only of the previous registration or publication of the registered design. [29/2017] (2) The right in a design registered by virtue of subsection (1) does not extend beyond the end of the period, and any extended period, for which the right subsists in the original design. (3) Where a person files an application for registration of a design in respect of an article or a non‑physical product and either —(a) the design has been previously registered by another person in respect of some other article or non‑physical product; or (b) the design to which the application relates is a design previously registered by another person in respect of the same or some other article or non‑physical product with modifications or variations not sufficient to alter the character or substantially to affect the identity of the registered design, then, if at any time while the application is pending, the applicant becomes the registered owner of the design previously registered, subsection (1) applies as if, at the time of filing the application, the applicant had been the registered owner of that design.
