EXPLANATORY NOTE. 
(This note is not part of the Instrume nt and does not purport to be a legal 
interpretation.)  
These Regulations amend the Industrial De signs Regulations 2002 ( S.I. No 280 of 
2002 ) by removing the requirement to forms 1 and 1A of the Schedule for a statement of 
novelty and individual character in the appl ication for registration of a design. These 
Regulations also revise the fo rmat of the Certificate of Re gistration for a design, which is 
issued by the Controller of Patents, De signs and Trade Marks upon registration of a 
design. The revised format has removed the reference to and requirement for a product 
listing on the Certificate of Registration.
