Legal grounds invoked

Article 57

Argument summary

  • The design holder filed an appeal against the Invalidity Division’s decision concerning RCD No. 5 652 401-0019 and stated that the appeal fee would be paid by bank transfer.
  • The Registry notified the design holder that the Office had not received the appeal fee within the appeal period and no timely payment was ultimately demonstrated.
  • The Board held that Article 57 CDR makes payment of the appeal fee a condition for the notice of appeal to be deemed filed; that condition was not met here.
  • The appeal was therefore deemed not filed and no appeal-costs decision was required.
