Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant appealed the examiner’s refusal of four Community design applications for inconsistent views and requested continuation based only on the views labelled by the examiner as design B.
- ›The applicant simultaneously filed for restitutio, but the appeal itself relied on an express withdrawal of views 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 and 4.1.
- ›The Board exercised its discretion under Article 63(2) CDR to admit the applicant’s late but clear withdrawal of the defective views.
- ›The refusal was set aside and the case was remitted so registration could continue for views 1.2-1.7, 2.2-2.7, 3.2-3.7 and 4.2-4.7 only.
