Argument summary
- ›The holder appealed the Invalidity Division decision declaring the bottle design invalid for lack of individual character.
- ›The invalidity applicant asked for dismissal of the appeal, and the parties later informed the Board that they had reached a settlement.
- ›After the holder withdrew the appeal, the Board found that there was no longer any need to adjudicate on the merits and took note of the parties’ agreement on costs.
- ›The appeal proceedings were terminated without a merits decision.
