73In that regard, as the Advocate General noted in points 103 and 104 of his Opinion, the component parts covered by Article 110(1) of Regulation No 6/2002 contribute to the appearance of the complex product. As recalled in paragraph 60 of the present judgment, only component parts which benefit from protection as a Community design and which, in accordance with Article 4(2)(a) of that regulation, therefore remain visible during normal use of the complex product once it has been incorporated into it are covered by Article 110(1). A visible component part necessarily contributes to the appearance of the complex product.
