Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on earlier disclosures of the CosmoGlo floor lamp on Instagram, Reddit, YouTube and Facebook.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division found one Instagram screenshot did not show the prior design completely, and the remaining social media materials fell within the Article 7(2) grace period because they were attributable to the holder.
- ›The invalidity grounds under Article 25(1)(b) failed, so the application was rejected and the applicant was ordered to pay EUR 400 in costs.
