Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of RCD No 005278702-0001 under Article 25(1)(g) CDR.
- ›The holder filed through a professional representative, but no substantive response was addressed because the case was decided on admissibility alone.
- ›The Division found the application had been filed in German although, under Article 98(4) CDR, it had to be filed in English, and the applicant did not remedy that deficiency after being invited to comment.
- ›The application was therefore rejected as inadmissible under Article 30(1), and the invalidity fee was not refunded.
