73.—(1) In this Division, “corresponding design”, in relation to an artistic work, means a design which, when applied to an article, results in a reproduction of that work.
(2) In this Division, references to the scope of the copyright in a registered design are references to the aggregate of the things, which, by virtue of the provisions of the United Kingdom Designs (Protection) Act (Cap. 208), the registered proprietor of the design has the exclusive right to do, and references to the scope of the copyright in a registered design as extended to all associated designs and articles are references to the aggregate of the things which, by virtue of that written law, the registered proprietor would have had the exclusive right to do if—
- (a) when that design was registered, there had at the same time been registered every possible design consisting of that design with modifications or variations not sufficient to alter the character or substantially to affect the identity thereof, and the said proprietor had been registered as the proprietor of every such design; and
- (b) the design in question, and every other design such as is mentioned in paragraph (a), had been registered in respect of all the articles to which it was capable of being applied.
