Right given by registration (2) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the registration of a design shall have the same effect against the State as it has against a subject. (As amended by G.N. No. 187 of 1964 and S.I. No. 175 of 1965) 15. (1) Copyright in a registered design shall, subject to the provisions of this Act, subsist for a period of five years from the date of registration. (2) The Registrar shall extend the period of copyright for a second period of five years from the expiration of the original period and for a third period of five years from the expiration of the second period if an application for extension of the period of copyright for the second or third period is made in the prescribed form before the expiration of the original period or the second period, as the case may be, and if the prescribed fee is paid before the expiration of the relevant period or within such further period (not exceeding three months) as may be specified in a request made to the Registrar and accompanied by the prescribed additional fee. (3) Where in the case of a registered design it is shown- (a) that the design, at the time when it was registered, was a corresponding design in relation to an artistic work in which copyright subsisted under the written law relating to copyright. (b) that, by reason of a previous use of that artistic work, the design would not have been registrable under this Act but for subsection (2) of section twelve; and (c) that the copyright in that work under the written law relating to copyright expired before the date of expiry of the copyright in the design; the copyright in the design shall, notwithstanding anything in this section, be deemed to have expired at the same time as the copyright in the artistic work, and shall not be renewable after that time.
