Argument summary
- ›The invalidity applicant appealed the Invalidity Division's rejection of its application for a declaration of invalidity against RCD No 15 004 754-0003 for telephone booths.
- ›The former design holder did not present a recorded merits response in this decision; instead, the parties reached a settlement and the appellant withdrew the appeal while also requesting recordal of a transfer of the contested RCD.
- ›The Board found the appeal admissible, but held that the withdrawal rendered the appeal proceedings without purpose, so the first-instance decision became final.
- ›The appeal proceedings were closed without a merits ruling, and the invalidity applicant was ordered to bear the former design holder's appeal costs.
