14th August 1850.

Whereas it is expedient to extend and amend the Acts relating to the Copyright of Designs: Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same:

I. That the Registrar of Designs, upon Application by or on behalf of the Proprietor of any Design not previously published within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland or elsewhere, and which may be registered under the Designs Act, 1842, or under the Designs Act, 1843, for the provisional Registration of such Design, under this Act, and upon being furnished with such Copy, Drawing, Print, or Description in Writing or in Print as in the Judgment of the said Registrar shall be sufficient to identify the particular Design in respect of which such Registration is desired, and the Name of the Person claiming to be Proprietor, together with his Place of Abode or Business, or other Place of Address, or the Style or Title of the Firm under which he may be trading, shall register such Design in such Manner and Form as shall from Time to Time be prescribed or approved by the Board of Trade; and any Design so registered shall be deemed "provisionally registered," and the Registration thereof shall continue in force for the Term of One Year from the Time of the same being registered as aforesaid; and the said Registrar shall certify, under his Hand and Seal of Office, in such Form as he said Board shall direct or approve, that the Design has been provisionally registe

red, the Date of such Registration, and the Name of the regitered Proprietor, together with his Place of Abode or Business, or other Place of Address.

II. That the Proprietor of any Design which shall have been provisionally registered shall, during the Continuance of such Registration, have the sole Right and Property in such Design; and the Penalties and Provisions of the said Designs Act, 1842, for preventing the Piracy of Designs, shall extend to the Acts, Matters, and Things next herein-after enumerated, as fully as if those Penalties and Provisions had been re-enacted in this Act, and expressly extended to such Acts, Matters, and Things respectively; that is to say,

1. To the Application of any provisionally registered Design, or any fraudulent Imitation thereof, to any Article of Manufacture or to any Substance:

2. To the Publication, Sale, or Exposure for Sale of any Article of Manufacture or any Substance to which any provisionally registered Design shall have been applied.

III. That during the Continuance of such provisional Registration neither such Registration nor the Exhibition or Exposure of any Design provisionally registered, or of any Article to which any such Design may have been or be intended to be applied, in any Place, whether public or private, in which Articles are not sold or exposed or exhibited for Sale, and to which the Public are not admitted gratuitously, or in any Place which shall have been previously certified by the Board of Trade to be a Place of public Exhibition within the Meaning of this Act, nor the Publication of any Account or Description of any provisionally registered Design exhibited or exposed or intended to be exhibited or exposed in any such Place of Exhibition or Exposure in any Catalogue, Paper, Newspaper, Periodical, or otherwise, shall prevent the Proprietor thereof from registering any such Design under the said Designs Acts at any Time during the Continuance of the provisional Registration, in the same Manner and as fully and effectually as if no such Registration, Exhibition, Exposure, or Publication had been made; provided that every Article to which any such Design shall be applied, and which shall be exhibited or exposed by or with the Licence or Consent of the Proprietor of such Design, shall have thereon or attached thereto the Words "provisionally registered," with the Date of Registration.

IV. That if during the Continuance of such provisional Registration the Proprietor of any Design provisionally registered shall sell, expose, or offer for Sale any Article, Substance, or Thing to which any such Design has been applied, such provisional Registration shall be deemed to have been null and void immediately before any such Sale, Offer, or Exposure shall have been first made; but nothing herein contained shall be construed

to hinder or prevent such Proprietor from selling or transferring the Right and Property in any such Design.

V. That the Board of Trade may by Order in Writing with respect to any particular Class of Designs, or any particular Design, extend the Period for which any Design may be provisionally registered under this Act, for such Term not exceeding the additional Term of Six Months as to the said Board may seem fit; and whenever any such Order shall be made, the same shall be registered in the Office for the Registration of Designs, and during the extended Term the Protection and Benefits conferred by this Act in case of provisional Registration shall continue as fully as if the original Term of One Year had not expired.

VII. That if any Person shall, during the Continuance of the Copyright in any Sculpture, Model, Copy, or Cast which shall have been so registered as aforesaid, make, import, or cause to be made, imported, exposed for Sale, or otherwise disposed of, any pirated Copy or pirated Cast of any such Sculpture, Model, Copy, or Cast, in such Manner and under such Circums tances as would entitle the Proprietor to a special Action on the Case under the Sculpture Copyright Acts, the Person so offending shall forfeit for every such Offence a Sum not less than Five Pounds and not exceeding Thirty Pounds to the Proprietor of the Sculpture, Model, Copy, or Cast whereof the Copyright shall have been infringed; and for the Recovery of any such Penalty the Proprietor of the Sculpture, Model, Copy, or Cast which shall have been so pirated shall have and be entitled
