(1) Where it is shown that a registered design-

(a) was at the time it was registered a corresponding design in relation to an artistic work in which copyright subsists; or

(b) by reason of a previous use of that work would not have been registrable but for section 10(1),

then, notwithstanding section 28, the period of registration of the design expires when the copyright in that work expires, if that is earlier than the time at which it would otherwise expire, and it may not thereafter be renewed.
(2) Notwithstanding section 28, the period of registration of a design registered by virtue of section 11(1) shall not extend beyond the end of the period of registration, and any extended period of registration, of the original registered design.
