Abstrakt: The article concentrates on the interpretation and the scope of the functional exclusion set out in art.8(1) of the Regulation on Community Designs. It analyses criteria to be applied at different stages of assessing design features solely dictated by the product's technical function. The author suggests adopting an approach independent from that developed in trade mark practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
