Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty, relying on a chair allegedly disclosed on amazon.de on 15/05/2018 under ASIN B07D3RHZ1B.
- ›The applicant compared the contested design with that earlier chair; the holder filed no observations in reply.
- ›The Division found the internet extracts and product information lacked a reliable link to the cited webpage and date, so prior disclosure under Article 7 was not proven.
- ›Because the earlier disclosure was not established, the novelty attack failed and the invalidity application was rejected as unfounded.
