Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant appealed the refusal and asked to continue registration using only the views the examiner had labelled as design B.
- ›There was no opposing private party; at first instance the examiner had rejected the applications for inconsistent views covering more than one design.
- ›The Board exercised its discretion under Article 63(2) CDR to take account of the applicant's clear appeal-stage withdrawal of views 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 and 4.1.
- ›The refusal was set aside and the case was remitted so registration could continue on the remaining views for the four applications.
