Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty, arguing the contested light-post design was identical to its earlier Community design No 006371506-0001.
- ›The holder filed no observations in reply and left the invalidity claim undefended.
- ›The Division found the earlier design had been validly disclosed through publication in the Community Designs Bulletin before the contested filing date.
- ›It held the differences were only immaterial details, so the designs were identical; the application was upheld and the RCD declared invalid.
