authorizing him to make that use of the design shall be entitled to recover from the
registered proprietor such part, if any, of those payments as may be agreed upon
between that person and the registered proprietor or as may, in default of agreement,
be determined by the Tribunal on a reference under section twenty-one to be just
having regard to any expenditure incurred by that person—
(a)
