Michael Best is an active member of INTA’s EU Designs Reform Task Force. In the past few weeks the Task Force has worked on INTA’s response to the EU’s public consultation on the revision of the EU legislation on design protection in the context of the ongoing review of the Community Design Regulation and the Design Directive. The purpose of this public consultation is to serve as complement to the extensive public consultation on design protection already carried out (from 18 December 2018 to 30 April 2019) in the context of the evaluation of the relevant EU legislation, to which the INTA EU Designs Reform Task Force has already contributed substantially. The consultation seeks to obtain stakeholder views on selected issues and potential policy options, which were not already subject of the previous consultation(s).
