Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity under Article 25(1)(f) CDR, alleging the contested RCD copied his earlier designs and infringed his copyright-related rights.
- ›The holder filed through a professional representative, but the decision records no substantive defence because the case was resolved on admissibility.
- ›The Division found the application lacked the required particulars on the allegedly copyrighted work, the applicable national copyright law, and the applicant’s entitlement to the earlier right.
- ›Because the applicant did not cure those deficiencies after invitation, the application was rejected as inadmissible and the fee was not refunded.
