Argument summary
- ›The invalidity applicant (Bibita Group) challenged the beverage bottle RCD No 3 797 091-0001 under Article 25(1)(d) CDR; the Invalidity Division rejected the application finding different overall impressions on the informed user.
- ›The applicant appealed; the design holder submitted no observations.
- ›The Board's earlier decision of 14 January 2019 erroneously assessed the case under Article 25(1)(b) CDR instead of the invoked Article 25(1)(d) CDR, constituting an obvious error requiring revocation.
- ›The Board revoked its prior decision under Articles 39 CDIR and 68 CDR; it indicated it would re-assess the appeal on the correct legal basis.
