Dr Wim Alberts, writing for De Rebus (a South African legal magazine) explains the principles and legislation relating to “Registered Design Protection” in South Africa.

In addition he discusses the overlap and interplay between design protection and that afforded by other IP laws such as copyright and patents in South Africa.
