Argument summary

  • The invalidity applicant appealed the rejection of its invalidity application and initially sought to have the contested decision set aside in full.
  • Before filing substantive appeal grounds, the appellant withdrew the appeal and both parties agreed that each side would bear its own costs.
  • The Board found that the withdrawal rendered the appeal proceedings devoid of purpose and therefore closed the case without deciding the merits.
  • The appeal was discontinued; the first-instance rejection of the invalidity application became final and no costs order was needed.
