JJHOME children's playpen / baby playpen
ASIN B07SHMVNQ1 · Amazon.de · disclosed 2019-06-01
Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of the contested baby playpen design for lack of individual character, relying mainly on an earlier Amazon.de disclosure of a JJHOME playpen and also invoking other grounds not ultimately examined.
- ›The holder was invited to file observations but did not respond to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted D1 as an online disclosure before the filing date, found broad designer freedom for baby playpens, and held that the shared side-wall structure and curved entrance created the same overall impression on the informed user.
- ›The application was upheld under Article 25(1)(b) CDR in conjunction with Article 6(1)(b), the contested RCD was declared invalid in full, and costs were awarded against the holder.
