Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of Community design No 008643415-0002 under Article 25(1)(d) CDR.
- ›No substantive response from the holder is recorded because the Division resolved the case on admissibility.
- ›The Division found the application lacked a reasoned statement, prior-design particulars, a representation of the earlier design, and proof of entitlement.
- ›Because the applicant did not remedy the deficiencies within the set time limit, the application was rejected as inadmissible and the fee was not refunded.
