Argument summary
- ›Applicant sought invalidity of Community design No 008818298-0001 under Article 25(1)(b) CDR in conjunction with Articles 4(1) and 4(2) CDR.
- ›Holder filed no observations; the decision addresses admissibility only.
- ›The Division found the application was filed in Polish even though the language of proceedings was English, and the deficiency was not cured after the Office invitation.
- ›The application was rejected as inadmissible, and the invalidity fee was not refunded because inadmissibility does not trigger refund under Article 30(2) CDIR.
