Argument summary

  • Three invalidity applicants appealed the rejection of their invalidity application against Italcer’s tile design.
  • The design holder defended the appealed decision, but the parties later reached an amicable settlement.
  • The invalidity applicants then withdrew the appeal, so the Board held that there was no longer any need to rule on the merits.
  • The appeal was terminated and the Board merely noted the parties’ agreement on costs.
