Legal grounds invoked
Article 57
Argument summary
- ›The design holder filed an appeal against the Invalidity Division’s decision concerning RCD No. 5 652 468-0008 and indicated payment of the appeal fee by bank transfer.
- ›The Registry informed the design holder that the Office had not received the appeal fee before expiry of the appeal period and invited comments, but no valid timely payment was established.
- ›The Board applied Article 57 CDR and held that a notice of appeal is deemed filed only when the appeal fee has been paid; because the fee was not paid in time, the appeal was deemed not filed.
- ›No substantive review or appeal-costs order followed because the appeal was procedurally ineffective.
