Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued that its earlier bowl design had long been available online and that the contested design therefore lacked novelty and individual character.
- ›The holder argued that the original filing was deficient and that the cited internet material still did not prove reliable prior disclosure.
- ›The Division treated the application as admissible after the applicant later supplied a printout, but found the evidence insufficient because the key webpage date was untranslated and uncorroborated.
- ›Prior disclosure was not established, so the invalidity application was rejected.
