Article 24

1. Article 23(1)(a), (b) and (c) and Article 23(2), (3), (5) and (6) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the registration of the grant or transfer of a licence, to registration of the creation or transfer of a right in rem in respect of a registered Community design, and to registration of enforcement measures. However, where a registered Community design is involved in insolvency proceedings, the request of the competent national authority for an entry in the Register to this effect shall not be subject to payment of a fee.

In the case of a multiple registration, each registered Community design may, separately from the others, be licensed, the subject of a right in rem, levy of execution or insolvency proceedings.

2. Where the registered Community design is licensed for only a part of the Community, or for a limited period of time, the application for registration of the licence shall indicate the part of the Community or the period of time for which the licence is granted.

3. Where the conditions applicable to registration of licences and other rights, set out in Articles 29, 30 or 32 of Regulation (EC) No 6/2002, in paragraph 1 of this Article, and in the other applicable Articles of this Regulation are not fulfilled, the Office shall notify the applicant of the deficiencies.

If the deficiencies are not remedied within a time limit specified by the Office, it shall reject the application for registration.

4. Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to licences and other rights concerning applications for registered Community designs. Licences, rights in rem and enforcement measures shall be recorded in the files kept by the Office concerning the Community design application.

5. The request for a non-exclusive licence pursuant to Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 shall be made within three months of the date of the entry in the Register of the newly entitled holder.
