Legal grounds invoked

Article 37Article 70

Argument summary

  • Invalidity applicant (appellant) had filed an appeal on 23 November 2018 against the decision of 26 September 2018 rejecting the invalidity application, but withdrew the appeal on 23 January 2019 and requested a refund of the appeal fee.
  • The design holder was notified of the withdrawal and no substantive arguments were exchanged.
  • The Board noted that withdrawal of the appeal ends the proceedings and makes the first-instance decision final; refund of the appeal fee is only available upon allowance of the appeal following a substantial procedural violation, which was not the case here.
  • On costs, since the applicant withdrew before filing the statement of grounds and the holder did not need to defend itself, the Board considered it equitable not to award costs to either party.
