38As the applicant claims, the wording of Article 6 goes beyond that of Article 5 of Regulation No 6/2002. Consequently, the differences observed between the designs at issue in the context of Article 5 may, especially if they are slight, not be sufficient to produce on an informed user a different overall impression within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation No 6/2002. In that case, the contested design may be regarded as being new within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation No 6/2002, but will not be regarded as having individual character within the meaning of Article 6 of the regulation.
