Argument summary
- ›RCD owner Markus Paleologo appealed the Registry's confirmation that GGM No 2 195 842-0001 had lapsed with effect from 5 March 2018 due to non-payment of the renewal fee; he argued he had commissioned a third-party fee-monitoring company to effect payment and bore no personal fault.
- ›No opposing private party; the Registry confirmed the lapse under Article 22 GGDV because neither a timely renewal application nor the fee was received within the statutory or grace periods.
- ›The Board confirmed that lapse under Article 22 CDR operates regardless of fault; fault-based relief is available only via a restitutio in integrum application under Article 67 CDR, which the appellant had neither filed nor paid for, and which would in any event be time-barred.
- ›Appeal dismissed; lapse of the RCD confirmed.
