Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of RCD No 003032671-0001 under Article 25(1)(b) CDR.
- ›No substantive response from the holder is discussed because the case was resolved on formal admissibility grounds.
- ›The Division found the application contained no facts, evidence, or arguments supporting the pleaded invalidity ground and therefore did not comply with Article 28(1)(b)(vi) CDIR.
- ›Because the applicant failed to remedy that deficiency within the time limit set by the Office, the application was rejected as inadmissible and the fee was not refunded.
