Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of individual character based on a YouTube-disclosed pizza-dough design predating the filing date.
- ›The holder was invited to respond to the invalidity application but filed no observations.
- ›The Division accepted the YouTube screenshot as prior disclosure and found high design freedom with no meaningful overall-impression differences.
- ›The application was upheld, the contested design was declared invalid, and costs were awarded against the holder.
