Argument summary
- ›The applicant challenged the examiner's refusal to accord a filing date, arguing that the original images already clearly identified the claimed design subject-matter, namely horizontal light strips integrated into a chair back.
- ›No opposing private party; this is an ex-parte appeal against the examiner's filing-date decision.
- ›The Board held that the original representation clearly disclosed the claimed subject-matter and that the examiner's objections concerned only the quality of the disclaimer technique and colour outline, not the identity of the design under Article 36(1)(c) CDR.
- ›The appeal was upheld and the register was corrected to show 12/12/2019 as the filing date.
