Argument summary

  • The invalidity applicant had appealed the first-instance rejection of its invalidity application against the jewellery RCD.
  • During the appeal, the parties requested suspension for settlement discussions, after which the invalidity applicant withdrew the underlying invalidity application.
  • The Board held that the withdrawal deprived both the invalidity and appeal proceedings of purpose and that the contested first-instance decision no longer had effect.
  • The proceedings were closed without a merits decision and each party was ordered to bear its own costs.
