Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued that the contested bed design lacked novelty and individual character compared with an earlier bed disclosed online before the filing date.
- ›The holder filed no observations, so the applicant’s evidence and arguments on disclosure and overall impression were unrebutted.
- ›The Division accepted the Wayback Machine printout as sufficient evidence of prior disclosure under Article 7(1) CDR.
- ›It found the shared modular padded headboard and bed-base features dominated the overall impression, while the minor differences in headboard proportion and leg shape did not matter.
- ›The application was upheld, the design was declared invalid for lack of individual character, and costs were awarded against the holder.
