Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on earlier Amazon disclosures of a TECBOSS rechargeable night light before the RCD filing date.
- ›The holder filed no observations in reply to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon listings as proof of disclosure under Article 7 and treated them jointly as D1 because they showed the same TECBOSS light.
- ›It found the contested design created the same overall impression as D1, so the application was upheld and the RCD was declared invalid.
