79So far as concerns the applicant’s allegation of infringement of copyright of the earlier works of art, under Article 25(1)(f) of Regulation No 6/2002 a Community design may be declared invalid if it constitutes an unauthorised use of a work protected under the copyright law of a Member State. Accordingly, the protection may be invoked by the copyright holder when, in accordance with the law of the Member State conferring the protection on him, he can prevent the use of that design.
