Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character over earlier German design D1 for a children's rocker or swing.
- ›The holder argued that differences in the side-arch shape, handle shape and openings, and constraints from rocking function and child safety produced a different overall impression.
- ›The Division accepted D1 as disclosed through its earlier German publication and found the novelty attack failed because the differences were not insignificant.
- ›It held that the shared rainbow bars, natural-wood side panels, integrated handles, and overall configuration dominated the comparison, so the contested design lacked individual character and had to be invalidated.
