Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on earlier Chinese design No 6679225 allegedly disclosed on 4 March 2020.
- ›To support the claim, the applicant filed Chinese text with an English translation, while the holder filed no observations.
- ›The Division found the evidence did not include the certificate or a sufficient reproduction of the earlier design, so disclosure under Article 7(1) CDR was not proven.
- ›Because disclosure of the prior design was not established, the novelty and individual character challenge failed and the application was rejected.
