Argument summary
- ›The invalidity applicant (Begros) had obtained a first-instance decision invalidating RCD No. 4661361-0019 (beds) for lack of individual character under Article 25(1)(b) CDR.
- ›The design holder (Meise Möbel) appealed on 8 June 2020; on 20 July 2020 the applicant notified the Board of an out-of-court settlement and withdrew the invalidity application.
- ›The Board held that withdrawal of the invalidity application removes the basis for both the invalidity and appeal proceedings, which are accordingly closed; the first-instance decision does not become final.
- ›Each party bears its own costs in both proceedings, in accordance with the parties' agreed mutual waiver of costs, pursuant to Article 70(5) CDR.
