Argument summary

  • The invalidity applicant appealed the rejection of his invalidity application against the contested logo design, invoking 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 agreed to repeated suspensions pending related national litigation.
  • The holder surrendered the contested RCD before any merits ruling, and the surrender was recorded on 19 May 2021 as part of an amicable settlement.
  • The Board closed both proceedings and ordered each party to bear its own costs.
