A person may ask the Registrar to direct that a design application specify the person as:
an applicant; or
an entitled person in relation to a design disclosed in the application.
The Registrar may give the direction if the person would, if the design were registered, be entitled under an assignment or agreement, or by operation of law, to:
the registered design or an interest in it; or
an undivided share in the registered design or in such an interest.
If the Registrar gives the direction:
the person is taken to be an applicant or an entitled person in relation to the design, as the case requires; and
the application is taken to be amended accordingly.
