Argument summary

  • The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on the ANGELBLISS Baby Playpen allegedly available on Amazon from 17 July 2020.
  • The holder was invited to respond but filed no observations.
  • The Division found the image and hyperlink did not objectively prove where and when the prior design was disclosed, so Article 7 disclosure was not established.
  • Because prior disclosure was unproven, the invoked invalidity grounds failed and the application was rejected with costs against the applicant.
