"Baby Playpen" by YOBEST
https://www.amazon.de; ASIN B083QW2J1Z · Amazon.de · disclosed 2020-04-21
Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of individual character, relying on a YOBEST baby playpen offered on Amazon.de before the filing date.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon listing as prior disclosure and found average designer freedom for baby playpens.
- ›The similarities in shape, windows, supports, joints and proportions outweighed minor differences, so the contested design produced the same overall impression and was invalidated.
