| (1) | Save as provided for in subregulations (5) and (6), each representation in the form of a drawing or a photograph of the design shall be executed upon or mounted on paper of A4 size. When more than one figure is shown, these shall as far as possible be on one and the same sheet, and the view of each shall be designated on the sheet (e.g. front view, side view). |
| (2) | The minimum margins for sheets containing drawings or photographs shall be the same as those set out in regulation 10 (4), except that below the top margin there shall be a space clear of any drawing matter for the name of the applicant, the application number and the numbering of the sheets, and at the bottom righthand corner there shall be a space within the margin clear of any drawing matter for the signature of the applicant or his agent. |
| (3) | Drawings shall be executed without colouring in durable, black, sufficiently dense and dark, uniformly thick and well-defined lines and strokes to permit of satisfactory reproduction. All reference symbols appearing in or on the drawings shall be simple and clear. |
| (4) | Where words, letters, or numerals are not part of the design or do not serve as reference symbols as envisaged in regulation 15, they shall be disclaimed or be removed from the representations. |
| (5) | In the case of an application for the registration of a design for an integrated circuit topography, a mask work or a series of mask works, the representations may exceed A4 size, and shall be of such dimensions that the features of the integrated circuit topography, mask work or series of mask works are clearly visible to the naked eye. |
| (6) | In the case of an application for the registration of a design for an integrated circuit topography, a mask work or a series of mask works, drawings not in A4 size shall be folded in A4 size. |
