Argument summary
- ›The design holder appealed the Invalidity Division's decision declaring the bottles design invalid and ordering it to pay costs.
- ›The invalidity applicant asked for dismissal of the appeal, but during the suspended appeal the parties reached an amicable settlement.
- ›After the invalidity applicant withdrew the invalidity application, the Board found both the invalidity and appeal proceedings devoid of purpose and closed them without a merits decision.
- ›The Board also took note of the parties' costs agreement, so it made no independent costs order.
