Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying in particular on earlier RCD No 008165393-0001.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division found the earlier RCD had been validly disclosed before the filing date and that the compared designs differed only, if at all, in immaterial details.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked novelty and was declared invalid, with costs awarded against the holder.
