Modular systems, interconnecting features and technical function in EU design law—GC rules on relationship between functionality provisions in Article 8 CDR

  • Lavinia Brancusi

Abstract

The General Court ruled that not all the features ensuring the interconnection between two products and covered by the must-fit prohibition are also solely dictated by the technical function of one of the products; a design right conferred over a modular product may, however, be invoked for the benefit of all of its must-fit features, irrespective of whether or not they are solely dictated by the technical function.
