Applications by persons declared to be entitled persons in court proceedings
53 Applications by persons declared to be entitled persons in court proceedings
This section applies if, in any proceedings in a court in relation to a design, the court is satisfied either:
that a person or persons were entitled persons at the time the design was first registered, and one or more of the original registered owners of the design was not an entitled person at that time; or
that each original registered owner of the design was an entitled person at the time the design was first registered, but that another person or persons were also entitled persons at that time.
In addition to any other order it may make in the proceedings, the court may declare that a person whom the court is satisfied was an entitled person at the time the design was first registered is an entitled person under this subsection.
The court may not make an order under subsection (2) unless the registration of the design has been revoked.
