Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of the contested design under Article 25(1)(b) CDR in conjunction with Article 4(1) and (2) CDR.
- ›The holder filed no observations recorded in the decision because the case was resolved on admissibility before any merits assessment.
- ›The Division found the application lacked a reasoned statement of facts, evidence and arguments as required, despite identifying grounds and supplying prior-design evidence.
- ›After the applicant failed to remedy the deficiency within the set time limit, the Division rejected the application as inadmissible and refused any refund of the invalidity fee.
