Legal grounds invoked
Article 57Article 35(1)
Argument summary
- ›Applicant (a freelance designer with no administrative support) filed a deferred-publication design application; failed to request publication and pay the required fee within the legal deadline (by 19 July 2018), resulting in rejection of the application.
- ›Applicant filed a communication on 20 August 2018 styled as an 'explanation and request', not as a formal appeal, acknowledging the error and asking to re-register; the Registry notified the applicant that a proper appeal could still be filed before 22 October 2018.
- ›The applicant did not file a proper statement of grounds of appeal; the Registry had already informed them of this deficiency and the deadline to correct it (2 January 2019).
- ›The Board found the appeal did not comply with Article 57 CDR because no proper statement of grounds was filed; the appeal was therefore inadmissible.
- ›Appeal declared inadmissible; the contested examiner's decision is final.
