Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on earlier gaming-chair lighting disclosures available before 10 December 2019.
- ›The holder filed no observations and did not contest disclosure, novelty, or individual character.
- ›The Division accepted D1's YouTube and webshop disclosure under Article 7 and found the informed user would receive an almost identical overall impression from the compared lighting-strip designs.
- ›The application was upheld in full; the contested design was declared invalid and the holder was ordered to pay EUR 750 in costs.
