Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on earlier curtain disclosures including D1 from the Allegro archive.
- ›The holder filed no observations and did not rebut the applicant's evidence.
- ›The Division accepted D1 as publicly disclosed before the filing date and found the contested curtain design identical in its essential half-moon relief pattern.
- ›The application was upheld, the RCD was declared invalid for lack of novelty, and costs were awarded against the holder.
