28As regards the degree of freedom of the designer of a design, it is apparent from the case-law that that is determined, inter alia, by the constraints of the features imposed by the technical function of the product or an element thereof, or by statutory requirements applicable to the product. Those constraints result in a standardisation of certain features, which will thus be common to the designs applied to the product concerned (judgment of 9 September 2011 in Kwang Yang Motor v OHIM — Honda Giken Kogyo (Internal combustion engine), T‑11/08, EU:T:2011:447, paragraph 32, and judgment in Wristwatch case, cited in paragraph 15 above, EU:T:2013:214, paragraph 112).
