Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant alleged lack of novelty and individual character over its KN1 console design and later filed further RAPID, patent and utility-model materials.
- ›The holder argued that the alleged prior disclosures were unreliable, largely internal, post-dated or unsupported, and that the late-filed additional designs were inadmissible.
- ›The Division found that the untranslated Polish and German materials could not be assessed, the lone affidavit was insufficient, and the late new designs altered the subject matter of the case.
- ›Because disclosure of the invoked prior design was not proved under Article 7(1) CDR, the invalidity application was rejected.
