Argument summary

  • LENG-D'OR, S.A. (invalidity applicant/appellant) had filed for invalidity of RCD No 2 964 452-0004 (snacks) for lack of validity requirements under Articles 4–9 CDR.
  • The Invalidity Division rejected the invalidity application by decision of 2 November 2017.
  • The invalidity applicant filed an appeal on 20 December 2017 but withdrew it on 2 March 2018 before submitting grounds; the design holder was notified.
  • As the appeal was withdrawn before any grounds were filed and the holder did not have to defend itself, the Board decided for reasons of equity not to award costs; proceedings are terminated.
