Argument summary
- ›The design holder appealed a first-instance decision invalidating its battery-part design on technical-function grounds.
- ›Before the Board ruled on the merits, the invalidity applicant withdrew the invalidity application and informed the Board that the parties had reached a settlement including costs.
- ›The design holder confirmed the amicable settlement and that no separate costs decision was required.
- ›The Board therefore closed the invalidity and appeal proceedings, set aside the contested decision, and merely took note of the costs agreement.
