Brief description of the notified legal text

These Regulations:

(a) modify the effect of retained EU law deriving from certain directly effective rights arising under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and

(b) amend retained EU law relating to intellectual property, which concerns the exhaustion of rights of the holder of an intellectual property right.
