Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character under Article 25(1)(b) CDR, relying on an Amazon webpage as prior design evidence.
- ›The holder did not file observations; the decision addresses only admissibility defects in the application.
- ›The Division found the application lacked a representation of the earlier design and contained no reasoned statement of facts, evidence, and arguments.
- ›After the applicant failed to cure the deficiencies within the time limit, the Division rejected the application as inadmissible and kept the fee non-refundable.
