Argument summary
- ›The invalidity applicant had sought invalidation of the contested flower-container design under Article 25(1)(b) CDR in conjunction with Articles 4(1), 5(1)(b) and 6(1)(b) CDR.
- ›The Invalidity Division rejected the invalidity application, and the invalidity applicant appealed that rejection.
- ›During the appeal, the parties informed the Office that they had settled the dispute, including costs, and the invalidity applicant withdrew the appeal.
- ›The Board therefore treated the appeal as devoid of purpose, closed the proceedings, and merely acknowledged the parties' agreement on costs.
