Art. 43 Suspension of proceedings

1 If the per­son un­der in­vest­ig­a­tion in­sti­tutes civil pro­ceed­ings for the nullity or non-in­fringe­ment of the design right, the court may sus­pend crim­in­al pro­ceed­ings.

2 If the per­son un­der in­vest­ig­a­tion claims in crim­in­al pro­ceed­ings that the design right is in­val­id or has not been in­fringed, the court may set an ap­pro­pri­ate time lim­it for him to as­sert his claims in civil pro­ceed­ings.
