Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on an Allegro online offer showing the same nail polisher before the filing date.
- ›The holders filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted the Allegro web disclosure as prior art, found any differences immaterial, and held that the contested design was not new under Article 5(1)(b).
- ›The application was upheld in full, the contested design was declared invalid, and the holder was ordered to pay costs.
