(1) Any contract, in so far as it relates to a licence under a design application or a design registration to make, use, offer to dispose of, dispose of or import a protected article, terminates on the date on which a design application is refused, or on which the design registration, under which the licence was granted, expires, is revoked or otherwise ceases to protect such article. (2) Where a contract relates to licences under more than one application or registration, such part of the contract as relates to any particular licence terminates when the application or the registration under which it was granted is refused or expires, is revoked or otherwise ceases to protect the article concerned, and that the contract as a whole terminates when all the registrations under which all such licences were granted and which were in force at the time when the contract became operative, expire, are revoked or otherwise cease to protect the relevant articles.
