Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on an earlier Amazon disclosure of a Docooler LED lighting device under ASIN B01FQIVW7K dated 16 May 2016.
- ›The holder filed no observations in reply.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon listing as sufficient proof of prior disclosure and found the informed user would receive the same overall impression from both LED lighting device designs.
- ›The application was upheld in full and the contested RCD was declared invalid, with costs awarded against the holder.
