Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on Amazon order records and images of a lamp allegedly sold in the European Union.
- ›The holder filed no observations recorded in the decision; the case was decided on the admissibility of the applicant's evidence.
- ›The Division found the application did not clearly identify and represent the earlier design and that the later-submitted clearer image did not match the original evidence and lacked proof of existence.
- ›Because the deficiency was not remedied within the time limit, the application was rejected as inadmissible and the invalidity fee was not refunded.
