Legal grounds invoked

Article 57

Argument summary

  • The Invalidity Division had declared the contested construction-toy design invalid on LEGO's application and ordered the design holder to bear costs.
  • The design holder filed an appeal but did not pay the appeal fee by the deadline that expired on 21 August 2020.
  • The Registry warned that the appeal was likely to be deemed not filed and invited comments, but none were submitted. Under Article 57 CDR, payment of the appeal fee is a condition for the appeal to be deemed filed.
  • No merits review followed; the Board declared the appeal deemed not filed and made no appeal-costs order.
