ANGELBLISS Baby Playpen
ASIN B086LG837P · amazon.de · disclosed 2020-07-17
Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued that the contested baby playpen design lacked novelty and individual character over the ANGELBLISS Baby Playpen offered on amazon.de from 17/07/2020.
- ›The holder was invited to respond to the invalidity application but filed no observations.
- ›The Invalidity Division found the Amazon listing sufficiently proved public disclosure before filing and held that the compared playpen designs differed only in immaterial details.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked novelty under Article 5(1)(b) CDR and was therefore declared invalid.
