Key legal question
Which law governed the alleged design infringement and damages claim?
Extracted holding
The damages claim for conduct in 1999 was governed by the former Model and Design Act, while the injunction request had to be assessed under the Design Act in force from 1 July 2002.
Extracted reasoning
The protected international model was still registered when the new law entered into force; transitional rules required application of the old law for past damage claims and the new law for forward-looking relief.
