Electronic Filing [UK Patent Office]

Law Wire has just received news concerning a new United Kingdom Order: this is the Registered Designs Act 1949 and Patents Act 1977 (Electronic Communications) Order 2006 (Statutory Instrument 2006 No.1229), which comes into force on 1 October 2006. It amends the Registered Designs Act 1949 by enabling the registrar of designs to direct the manner in which electronic filing is made, also tidying up the provisions governing electronic communications under the Patents Act 1977.
