Argument summary
- ›The design holder appealed the Invalidity Division's decision invalidating the bottle design.
- ›No statement of grounds of appeal was filed within the four-month time limit under Article 57 CDR, despite the Registry's reminder and later warning that the appeal was likely to be inadmissible.
- ›The design holder did not respond to the inadmissibility communication, and the Board held that the appeal failed to comply with Article 57 CDR.
- ›The appeal was dismissed as inadmissible; because the invalidity applicant had undertaken no procedural activity on appeal, each party was ordered to bear its own appeal costs.
