　　2．本条受《TRIPS协定》第25条和第26条约束。

　　一、每一缔约方应当对新的或原创的独立创作的工业设计提供保护。一缔约方可以规定，如果工业设计不能显著区别于已知的设计或已知设计特征的组合，则不属于新的或原创的设计。一缔约方可以规定此类保护不得延伸至主要出于技术或功能上的考虑而进行的设计。

1.　Each Party shall provide for the protection of independently created industrial designs that are new or original. A Party may provide that designs are not new or original if they do not significantly differ from known designs or combinations of known design features. A Party may provide that such protection shall not extend to designs dictated essentially by technical or functional considerations.

　　二、每一缔约方应当确保对纺织品设计进行保护的要求，特别是有关任何费用、审查或公布的要求，不得不合理地损害寻求和获得此种保护的机会。每一缔约方应当有权选择通过工业设计法或著作权法满足该项义务。

Each Party shall be free to meet this obligation through industrial design law or through copyright law.

　　三、每一缔约方应当规定，受保护的工业设计的所有权人有权阻止第三方未经所有权人同意，为商业目的，制作、销售或进口所载或所含设计属受保护设计的复制品或实质上属复制品的物品的行为。

3.　Each Party shall provide that the owner of a protected industrial design has the right to prevent third parties not having the owner’s consent from making, selling, or importing articles bearing or embodying a design which is a copy, or substantially a copy, of the protected design, when such acts are undertaken for commercial purposes.

　　四、每一缔约方可以对工业设计的保护规定有限的例外，只要此例外不会与受保护的工业设计的正常利用产生不合理的冲突，且不会不合理地损害受保护工业设计所有权人的合法权益，同时考虑到第三方的合法权益。

4.　Each Party may provide limited exceptions to the protection of industrial designs, provided that such exceptions do not unreasonably conflict with the normal exploitation of protected industrial designs and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the owner of the protected design, taking account of the legitimate interests of third parties.

　　五、每一缔约方确认下列设计可以获得工业设计保护：

5.　Each Party confirms that protection for industrial designs is available for designs:

1.　Each Party shall ensure adequate and effective protection of industrial designs and also confirms that protection for industrial designs is available for designs:

³⁹For greater certainty, nothing in this Article shall require a Party to ensure that its administrative authorities conduct substantive examination of designs.

　　缔约方认识到在互联网上向公众提供的信息可以构成工业设计在先技术的一部分。

The Parties recognise that information made available to the public on the internet may form part of the prior art for designs.

第五十一条　工业设计的注册或授权及申请

Article 11.51: Registration or Grant and Applications of Industrial Designs

　　每一缔约方应当规定工业设计注册制度，该制度应当包括：

Each Party shall provide a system for the registration or grant of industrial designs, which shall include:

Each Party shall endeavour to use a classification system for industrial designs that is consistent with the Locarno Agreement Establishing an International Classification for Industrial Designs signed at Locarno on 8 October 1968, as amended from time to time.

Article 18.56: Improving Industrial Design Systems

第18.56条：改善工业品外观设计制度

The Parties recognise the importance of improving the quality and efficiency of their respective industrial design registration systems, as well as facilitating the process of cross-border acquisition of rights in their respective industrial design systems, including giving due consideration to ratifying or acceding to the Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs, done at Geneva, July 2, 1999.
