Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity under Article 25(1)(b) CDR, arguing the contested swing design lacked novelty and individual character over an earlier Allegro disclosure.
- ›The holder argued that stylistic differences in the fringes, ears, front rod, folds, materials, colors, and proportions created a different overall impression.
- ›The Division accepted the Allegro evidence as a pre-filing public disclosure and found broad designer freedom for swings despite basic functional constraints.
- ›It held that the numerous shared features outweighed the differences, so the contested design lacked individual character and was declared invalid.
