Sandersons - Design Registration - 4

The UK Registry examines design applications for compliance with the Regulations and Rules only, and do not attempt to determine whether a design is new. Provided the Regulations and Rules are satisfied, an application will proceed to registration, even if it is not valid and cannot be enforced.

Searches before the filing of a design application are often useful in determining whether the design is new. A certificate of registration is issued to the applicant usually within a matter of weeks.
