Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued the contested RCD lacked a single identifiable subject matter because its black-and-white photographs showed three different bracelets.
- ›The holder replied that the images depicted the same bracelet and any differences resulted only from lighting, camera settings, or simple image processing.
- ›The Division held that Article 25(1)(a) in conjunction with Article 3(a) did not apply because the three views consistently showed the same bracelet.
- ›The invalidity application was rejected and the applicant was ordered to pay the holder's costs fixed at EUR 400.
