Argument summary
- ›The invalidity applicant argued that the contested RCD did not satisfy the definition of a design because its seven views allegedly showed contradictory products rather than one coherent product part.
- ›The design holder replied that the views depicted the same sleeping-bag foot section in closed and open positions, with dotted lines used only for contextual elements outside the claimed design.
- ›The Board held that the deposited views were coherent, sufficiently precise and clear enough to determine the scope of protection, so the design met Article 3(a) CDR.
- ›The contested decision rejecting the invalidity application was confirmed and the appeal was dismissed.
