Argument summary
- ›Applicant sought invalidity of the contested design under Article 25(1)(b) CDR in conjunction with Article 4(1) CDR and filed prior-design evidence.
- ›No substantive defence from the holders is recorded; the applicant also failed to answer the Office's invitation to remedy the missing reasoned statement.
- ›The Division found the application lacked the reasoned statement required by Article 52(2) CDR and Article 28(1)(b)(vi) CDIR.
- ›Because the deficiency was not cured within the set time limit, the application was held inadmissible and the invalidity fee was not refunded.
