Reference for a preliminary ruling — Juzgado de lo Mercantil no 1 de Alicante y no 1 de Marca Comunitaria — Interpretation of Articles 14(1) and (3) and 88(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 of 12 December 2001 on Community designs (OJ 2002 L 3, p. 1) — Proprietor of the rights — Right vesting in the employer or in the employed designer — Definitions
Operative part of the judgment
|
1. |
Article 14(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 of 12 December 2001 on Community designs does not apply to Community designs that have been produced as a result of a commission. |
|
2. |
In circumstances such as those of the main proceedings, Article 14(1) of Regulation No 6/2002 must be interpreted as meaning that the right to the Community design vests in the designer, unless it has been assigned by way of contract to his successor in title. |
