Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of the contested design under Article 25(1)(b) CDR in conjunction with Article 4(1) CDR.
- ›No holder observations are recorded because the Division resolved the case on admissibility before any merits assessment.
- ›The Division found the reasoned statement was filed in German instead of the language of proceedings, no translation was provided, and the filing still did not clearly identify the asserted invalidity grounds and prior designs.
- ›Because the applicant did not remedy the deficiencies within the time limit, the application was rejected as inadmissible and the invalidity fee was not refunded.
