Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of individual character, relying on earlier designs allegedly disclosed through Amazon screenshots and ASIN references.
- ›The holder filed no observations, so the invalidity claim remained undefended during the adversarial stage.
- ›The Division found the screenshots incomplete, the resubmission late and still deficient, and the evidence insufficient to prove prior disclosure under Article 7(1) CDR.
- ›Without solid proof of disclosure, the Article 25(1)(b) challenge failed and the application was rejected with costs against the applicant.
