Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty, relying among other things on a YouTube video uploaded on 28 April 2016 showing a transparent shaker.
- ›The holder was invited to respond to the invalidity application but filed no observations.
- ›The Division accepted the publicly accessible YouTube posting as a prior disclosure under Article 7(1) CDR before the contested design’s filing date.
- ›After direct comparison, the Division found no material differences in the designs’ visible features, so the contested design was not new and was declared invalid.
