Brief description of the notified legal text  
 
These regulations implement Directive 98/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 
13th October 1998 on the legal protection of designs (O.J. No. L289, 28.10.1998, p.28) ( "the 
Directive ") which provides for harmoni zation in the EC of the matters of registered design protection 
which most closely affect the functioning of the internal market. The Directive was ex tended to the 
European Economic Area by Decision No.21/2000 of the EEA Joint Committee.  
 
The Registered Designs Act 1949 ( "the Act ") already provides a very similar protection to that 
required under the Directive. These regulations amend the Act insofar as  its provisions do not comply 
with the requirements of the Directive. It also makes transitional provisions and consequential 
amendments to other Acts.  
 
Amends s.53 of the Copyright, Design and Patents Act 1988 .

TITLE: Medical Devices; Orthopedic Devices; Classification of Posterior Cervical Screw Systems  
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS  
ACTION: Final rule  
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is issuing a final rule to 
classi fy posterior cervical screw systems into class II (special controls) and to continue to require a 
premarket notification (510(k)) to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the 
device. A posterior cervical screw system is a device use d to provide immobilization and stabilization 
in the cervical spine as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery. The term "posterior cervical screw 
systems" is used to distinguish these devices from currently classified thoracolumbosacral pedicle 
screw systems for use in other spinal regions.  
This rule is effective 1 May 2019.
