Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for the table lamp design, relying mainly on an earlier Chinese design registration and alleging lack of novelty and individual character.
- ›The holder did not file observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted disclosure of Chinese design registration No CN201930015404.1 and found the informed user would receive the same overall impression from both lamp designs.
- ›The contested design lacked individual character under Article 6(1)(b) CDR, so the application was upheld and the design invalidated.
