@Specc Rubbish Specc. Registered Community Design is far closer to the patent protection process than copyright and is an attempt to harmonize with the USA Design Patent. Here is an example of how it is described by others http://www.mewburn.com/library/infor...munity-designs and whilst there may be some overlap with copyright, copyright is implicit in expression unlike RCD which requires an application for a limited monopoly based on novelty which is far closer to the process of patents. rgds note to self: don't argue with idiots, it achieves nothing and brings you down to their level.
