Argument summary
- ›The invalidity applicant sought cancellation of the contested RCD for lack of novelty and individual character under Articles 25(1)(b) and 4(1) CDR.
- ›The Invalidity Division declared the contested design invalid and ordered the holder to bear costs; the holder appealed and sought annulment of that decision.
- ›During the appeal, the holder requested suspension because parallel conciliation proceedings between the same parties were pending before the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris, and the invalidity applicant filed no observations.
- ›The Board weighed both parties' interests and suspended the appeal for legal certainty, procedural economy and sound administration until the conciliation proceedings end.
