Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of RCD No 005093515-0001 under Article 25(1)(d) CDR.
- ›The holder did not need to respond on the merits because the Office first examined admissibility.
- ›The Division found the applicant, based in the United Kingdom after 1 January 2021, lacked the required EU/EEA representative and failed to cure that deficiency in time.
- ›The application was therefore rejected as inadmissible, and the invalidity fee was not refunded.
