Both the EU design regulation and the EU design directive are likely to be modified in the near future. If you want to learn more, check out this very interesting webinar recording of the EUIPO.
One important aspect of the amendments is that (somewhat similarly to the changes made to the trademark regulation and directive a couple of years ago), the new regulation and directive will allow IP stakeholders to more easily obtain adequate design protection for designs that can be represented in a (modern) electronic register, without being necessarily limited to seven graphical representations per designs. Examples where this is important include video sequences.
