Argument summary
- ›The design holder appealed the Invalidity Division's decision declaring RCD No 2 137 190-0007 invalid for lack of individual character under Article 25(1)(b) in conjunction with Article 6 CDR.
- ›The invalidity applicant requested that the appeal be dismissed and opposed the design holder's later request to suspend the case pending General Court case T-628/24.
- ›The Board found that T-628/24 raises comparable issues on overall impression, including the effect of proportions and undersides, so that judgment may materially inform this appeal.
- ›Balancing both parties' interests, legal certainty, and procedural economy, the Board issued an interim decision suspending the appeal until a final judgment in T-628/24.
