Argument summary
- ›Applicant (Paulina II Beata Szymczak) appealed a refusal of registration of Community design No 006201604 (refused because the representations contained verbal elements and the applicant failed to correct them within the two-month time limit).
- ›The applicant argued that an employee's negligence prevented timely response and submitted new design views without verbal elements together with the appeal.
- ›The Board found the statement of grounds did not meet formal requirements under Article 57 CDR and Article 34(1)(c) CDIR — submitting new views and citing employee negligence did not constitute legal/factual arguments challenging the correctness of the first-instance decision.
- ›The appeal was rejected as inadmissible; the Board also noted that even treating the grounds as a restitutio in integrum request, such a request would be inadmissible due to non-payment of the fee, and human errors do not satisfy the 'all due care' standard.
