Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of RCD No 003998749-0001 under Article 25(1)(b) in conjunction with Article 4 CDR.
- ›The holder filed no observations recorded in the decision; the case was decided on an admissibility defect in the application.
- ›The Division found the application was filed in German instead of English and lacked an English indication of the supporting facts and arguments.
- ›Because the applicant did not cure the deficiency after invitation, the Division rejected the application as inadmissible and refused any refund of the invalidity fee.
