Argument summary
- ›The design holder appealed a rejection of its restitutio in integrum request for RCD No 1 993 320-0003 (part of refrigerators), which had expired on 16 February 2017; the appeal was filed on 16 April 2018, three days after the two-month deadline.
- ›The holder's representative argued good faith — a docketing error resulted in an incorrect deadline being entered — and requested oral hearing.
- ›The Board found the appeal out of time under Article 57 CDR; good faith is irrelevant to the application of procedural time limits; the oral hearing request was rejected.
- ›The appeal was dismissed as inadmissible.
