The 15 registered designs were revoked because overwhelming evidence demonstrated prior publication and substantial visual identity with earlier published designs such that they were not new under s5, and revocation under s45 was therefore warranted; an injunction was appropriate to prevent the re‑registration of the same designs by effectively the same interests and to guard against abuse of the registration system.
