Argument summary
- ›The examiner rejected the design application because the filed views contained terms, letters, numbers and symbols that were not part of the design, and the applicant did not remedy the irregularity within the Office’s deadline.
- ›On appeal, the applicant said it had not seen the examiner’s communication and simply filed four replacement views to correct the defect.
- ›The Board held that filing new views did not constitute a statement of grounds of appeal and that appeal proceedings cannot be used to reopen the missed period for curing the application defect; no restitutio request had been filed.
- ›The appeal was therefore declared inadmissible.
