Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant appealed the refusal of four design applications and asked to continue registration only for the views the examiner had labelled as design B.
- ›The applicant had not replied at first instance, but with the appeal expressly withdrew views 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 and 4.1; no opposing private party was involved.
- ›The Board exercised its discretion under Article 63(2) CDR to take account of that clear late-filed withdrawal statement.
- ›Because the conflicting views causing the refusal were withdrawn, the refusal was set aside and the case remitted for continuation of examination.
