Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character over earlier Community design registration No 0018637390002.
- ›The holder argued the parrots, borders, oval shape, colours, and additional figurative elements created different overall impressions.
- ›The Division found the earlier design was disclosed, rejected the novelty ground, but held the shared parrot, oval seed background, colours, and arrangement dominated the overall impression.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked individual character; the bad-faith allegation was treated as inadmissible.
