Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of Community design No 003490622-0004 under Article 25(1)(b) CDR.
- ›The holder’s position on the merits is not discussed; the decision turned on admissibility defects in the application.
- ›The Division found the applicant did not provide its legal form for proper identification and did not submit facts, evidence, or arguments supporting the pleaded invalidity grounds.
- ›Because those deficiencies were not remedied within the Office deadline, the application was rejected as inadmissible and the fee was not refunded.
