#### 9 Simplified outline The following is a simplified outline of this Chapter: This Chapter sets out matters relating to design rights. Part 2 specifies the exclusive rights of the registered owners of a registered design. Part 3 specifies: (a) who is entitled to be registered as the owner of an unregistered design; and (b) who is the registered owner of a registered design. Part 4 defines the key concepts of registrable design, newness, distinctiveness and substantial similarity. These concepts are important because: (a) in examining a design under Chapter 5, the Registrar must decide whether it is new and distinctive when compared to the prior art base; and (b) in deciding whether a person has infringed a registered design under Chapter 6, a court must consider whether the allegedly infringing design is substantially similar in overall impression to the registered design.
