Argument summary
- ›The holder appealed an invalidity decision and asked the Board to suspend the appeal pending the final outcome of parallel appeal R 2499/2022-3 concerning the same contested design.
- ›The invalidity applicant opposed suspension, arguing that the two invalidity cases relied on different earlier sandal designs and could proceed independently.
- ›The Board held that the decision in the parallel appeal could affect the present case and that suspension was appropriate in light of the parties' interests and the procedural posture.
- ›The present appeal proceedings were suspended until a final decision issues in appeal R 2499/2022-3.
