The design registration ceases when (a) the term of registration has ended; (b) the registration was not renewed; (c) the registered design was examined and not found to be registrable; (d) a required fee was not paid when due; or (e) another relevant legislative basis was not met. A registered design which has not overcome the issues raised during an examination in submissions or otherwise will ‘cease’. When a registered design ceases, the registration comes to an end. See s 48.
