Legal grounds invoked

Article 57

Argument summary

  • The Invalidity Division had declared the contested packaging-box design invalid on LEGO's application and ordered the design holder to bear costs.
  • The design holder filed an appeal but indicated payment by bank transfer and did not pay the appeal fee within the appeal period.
  • After the Registry invited comments on the fee deficiency, the design holder filed no response or supporting evidence. Under Article 57 CDR, the notice of appeal is deemed filed only once the appeal fee has been paid.
  • No substantive review took place; the Board declared the appeal deemed not filed and made no costs order for the appeal proceedings.
