another product allegedly already available on the market since 2007
Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›Applicant sought removal of the contested design from the register.
- ›After an invitation to remedy deficiencies, the applicant argued only that another product had been on the market since 2007 and again requested deletion.
- ›The holder filed no observations recorded in the decision; the case turned on admissibility defects in the application.
- ›The Division found no invalidity ground was identified and no reasoned statement of facts, evidence, and arguments was provided, so Article 28 and Article 52 requirements were unmet.
- ›The application was rejected as inadmissible and the invalidity fee was not refunded.
