Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character over earlier RCD No 003934223-0012.
- ›The holder filed no observations in reply and left the invalidity application undefended.
- ›The Division found the earlier RCD had been validly disclosed through its publication in the Community Designs Bulletin before the contested filing date.
- ›Comparing the designs, the Division held that all features of the contested RCD were present in the earlier design, so the contested design lacked novelty.
- ›The application was upheld in full, the contested RCD was declared invalid, and the holder was ordered to bear the applicant’s costs.
