Technical Function. Your application is not acceptable under Section 1C(1) of the Designs Act 1949 as it appears to have been designed in this way solely to perform its technical function of a facemask frame which will fit inside of a facemask in order to secure the mask around the wearers face. A frame is a rigid structure that surrounds something, in this instance a facemask, and this rigid structure will resist movement, staying in place in order to do its job of protecting the wearers face from dust. Registration is not permitted in cases where the technical function dictates the appearance of the product to the extend that it restricts design freedom and it is therefore not possible to create a new design. There is also an objection under 1C(2) of the Act. This states the following: "A right in a registered design shall not subsist in features of appearance of a product which must necessarily be reproduced in their exact form and dimensions so as to permit the product in which the design is incorporated or to which it is applied to be mechanically connected to, or place in, around or against, another product so that either product may perform its function". It appears that the frame for a dust mask would have to be made to specific dimensions so that it was able to fit inside the facemask and secure it around a wearers face and resist movement in order to protect them from dust and other particles and for this reason it would fall foul of the above section of the Act.

Technical Function. Your design consists of a basic face mask which allows the user to protect themselves and reduce the spread of i.e. germs. It would appear that the product has been designed to purely obtain a technical function. All of the features of the design, i.e. the ear straps, the perforated front section which allows the mask to be fixed away from the face, and the ergonomically-shaped protective face panel are necessary, and essential, in order that the product may perform its technical function of allowing the user to wear the product over their airways to protect them from contact with harmful viruses, thus reducing the spread of germs. It is the technical function that has determined these features. Therefore, an objection has been raised under section 1(C)1 of the RDA which states: ‘a right in a registered design shall not subsist in features of appearance of a product which are solely dictated by the product’s technical function. Next steps Your application cannot proceed unless the above objection is overcome. If you would like to discuss your application you can write, e-mail, or telephone me. My contact details are shown at the top of this letter. Alternatively, you can request a Hearing with a Senior Officer of the Registry. If you do not reply by the date shown above, your application will be refused under Section 3A of the Registered Designs Act 1949.
Sample 1
Technical Function. Your application is unacceptable under Section 1C(1) of the Registered Designs Act 1949 as it appears to have been designed in this way to solely perform a technical function. Your design appears to be a visor pinlock which creates a double glazed window effect when the pinlock visor is inserted or attached to the helmet, this would mean that the design itself would have been ergonomically designed to fit the face/cover the eyes and would have to be made to specific dimensions in order to insert into the helmet visor. Its sole function is a protective safety device which protects a wearers eyes from debris, pollen, bugs etc and to protect the users’ vision whilst riding. The overall shape of the design is necessary, and essential, for the product to fulfil its technical function as a safety device and to securely fit into the helmet. Registration is not permitted in cases where the technical function dictates the appearance of the product to the extent that it restricts design freedom and it is therefore not possible to create a new design. There is also an objection under 1C(2) of the Registered Designs Act 1949 which states the following: "A right in a registered design shall not subsist in features of appearance of a product which must necessarily be reproduced in their exact form and dimensions so as to permit the product in which the design is incorporated or to which it is applied to be mechanically connected to, or place in, around or against, another product so that either product may perform its function". It appears that the helmet shield would have to be made to specific dimensions so that it was able to fit the product to which it is intended to be applied (i.e. inside the helmet to protect the wearers eyes) and for this reason it would fall foul of the above section of the Act.

It would appear the product has been designed to purely obtain a technical function. All of the features of the design, i.e. the straps for fitting the product around the ears to keep it in place, the front to cover the airways, size and shape of the product as a whole are necessary, and essential, in order that the product may perform its technical function of allowing the user to wear the product over their airways in order to protect themselves avoiding contact with harmful viruses or airborne debris. It is the technical function that has determined these features. Therefore, an objection has been raised under section 1(C)1 of the RDA which states:
Sample 1
Technical Function. Your design consists of a hat with protective face mask attached that would allow the user to protect themselves and reduce the spread of i.e. germs. It would appear the product has been designed to purely obtain a technical function. All the features of the design, i.e. the cap shape to fit a wearers head, the clips to hold the mask in place and the ergonomic shape to fit the face are necessary, and essential, in order that the product may perform its technical function. The function appears to be to allow the user to wear the product over their head/facial area in order to cover and protect their airways, enabling them to avoid contact with harmful viruses, thus reducing the spread of germs. It is the technical function that has determined these features.
