›The holder appealed the Invalidity Division decision declaring the contested design invalid and requested that it be set aside.
›After filing the appeal, the holder applied for restitutio in integrum and the Invalidity Division granted that request.
›The Invalidity Division then set aside the original appealed decision and issued a new decision again declaring the contested design invalid.
›The Board found that, once restitutio had been granted at first instance, the pending appeal had become devoid of purpose and had to be discontinued.
›On equitable grounds, the Board ordered each party to bear its own costs in the appeal proceedings.
