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 obtained repeated suspensions pending related Polish court litigation.
- ›Before any merits ruling, the holder surrendered the contested RCD and informed the Board that the surrender reflected an amicable settlement under which each side would bear its own costs.
- ›The Board closed the invalidity and appeal proceedings and ordered each party to bear its own costs.
