Argument summary

  • Deere & Company requested restitutio in integrum to reinstate the time-limit for paying renewal fees for RCDs Nos 1408777-0002, -0003 and -0004, which had expired on 10 April 2019; the Office had rejected the request on 21 January 2020.
  • The design holder filed an appeal on 18 March 2020 against the rejection.
  • On 30 April 2020 the design holder withdrew the appeal and requested reimbursement of the appeal fee.
  • The Board closed the proceedings following withdrawal; it rejected the reimbursement request as the conditions of Article 37 CDIR were not met and no procedural violation by the Office was established.
