1. This appeal raises a short but by no means easy point on the proper construction and application of a provision in the Registered Designs Rules ("the Rules"). Individual rules are described in the Rules as sections. However, in this judgment, I propose to refer to them as rules to distinguish them from sections in the Registered Designs Ordinance (Cap. 522).
