Argument summary
- ›Appellant (design applicant) argued that rendering artefacts in the published views of its 3D design (GGM 4745974-0002) were caused by a defective EUIPO algorithm and requested correction of the published representations and reimbursement of the appeal fee.
- ›No opposing private party; the appeal is ex parte against the examiner's refusal of the correction request.
- ›The Board found that the published views were identical to the views selected and submitted by the applicant; the EUIPO viewer tool is merely a utility and the applicant was free to upload views generated by other software.
- ›The appeal was dismissed as unfounded; no reimbursement of the appeal fee was warranted.
