CHAPTER III: INDUSTRIAL DESIGNS AND MODELS SECTION ONE: INDUSTRIAL DESIGN AND MODEL RIGHTS Article 89: Industrial design or model suitable for registration An industrial design or model may be registered, provided that it is new. The protection provided for by this Law shall not be extended to the features of an industrial design or model which are used only to obtain a technical effect and insofar as they leave no freedom as regards arbitrary features of the product’s appearance. Article 90: Novelty of the industrial design or model An industrial design or model shall be novel, if it has not been disclosed, in any place in the world, in the form of a tangible publication, by use or any other means, prior to the filing date or, where appropriate, the priority date of the registration request. An industrial design or model shall be novel if it is not anticipated by the prior art. The prior art shall consist of everything that has been disclosed, anywhere in the world, by publication in tangible form, by oral disclosure, by use of industrial or model or in any other way, prior to the filing date of the industrial design or model in the empowered authority or, where appropriate, the priority date of the application claiming the invention. For the purposes of the provisions of paragraph (2) of this article, a disclosure of the invention of the industrial design or model shall not be taken into consideration, if it occurred within six (6) months preceding the filing date of the industrial design or model or, where appropriate, the priority date of the application, and if it has resulted directly or indirectly from acts committed by the applicant or his legal predecessor, or from a violation committed by a third party with regard to the applicant or his legal predecessor. Article 91: Matter excluded from registration Industrial designs and models contrary to public order or morality may not be registered. SECTION 2: INDUSTRIAL DESIGN AND MODEL OWNERSHIP Article 92: Right to registration The right to a patent of the industrial design or model shall belong to the inventor. The right to the patent is a personal property and may be assigned or transferred by means of succession.
