The owner of a design right may, by the owner's duly authorised registered agent, on payment of the fees specified in the Schedule, apply to the Registrar to have the design right extended to the Islands.
The Registrar, on being satisfied that —
the design right is currently held in the United Kingdom;
the design right is derived from registration in the United Kingdom or the European Community; and
the application is otherwise in order,
shall record the extension of the design right to the Islands accordingly.
The extension of a design right which consists of or contains —
national flags, insignia of royalty, insignia of international organisations and national emblems or the design of such flags, insignia or emblems; or
words, letters or devices likely to lead persons to think that the applicant either has or recently has had Government patronage or authorisation,
may only be recorded if the Registrar is satisfied that consent to the extension has been given by or on behalf of the respective Government or international organisation.
The recording of an extension of a design right shall be effected by an entry in the Register, showing such particulars as may be prescribed.
