Argument summary

  • The design holder (appellant) filed an appeal challenging the Invalidity Division's decision that had declared RCD No 003043207-0001 (backpack) invalid.
  • The invalidity applicant (respondent) had initially requested the appeal be dismissed, but subsequently reached an amicable settlement with the holder and withdrew the invalidity application.
  • Following the withdrawal of the invalidity application, the Board found the contested decision lost its purpose and legal effect.
  • Both parties agreed on costs, and the Board declared the appeal and invalidity proceedings closed without a substantive merits ruling.
