Argument summary
- ›The invalidity applicant appealed the rejection of his invalidity application against the contested logo design, relying on lack of novelty, lack of individual character, and unauthorised use of his copyrighted logo.
- ›The design holder requested dismissal of the appeal and the parties later sought repeated suspensions while related Polish court proceedings were pending.
- ›Before the Board ruled on the merits, the holder surrendered the contested RCD as part of an amicable settlement, and the surrender was recorded with effect from 26 April 2021.
- ›The Board closed both the invalidity and appeal proceedings and, following the parties’ settlement, ordered each side to bear its own costs.
