Legal grounds invoked

Article 67

Argument summary

  • After its appeal fee was paid late in an invalidity dispute, the design holder sought restitutio in integrum and blamed the delay on injunction-related disruption, COVID-era financial and organisational strain, and resulting representative difficulties.
  • The request linked the missed deadline to temporary business disorganisation and the practical burden of restarting production once interim relief had lapsed.
  • The Board held that those explanations were too general and did not establish all due care by the representative or a causal link between the alleged circumstances and the missed fee deadline.
  • The restitutio request was rejected; the earlier finding that the appeal had not been validly filed remained in place.
