Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character over earlier Community design registration No 007279625-0001.
- ›The holder filed no observations, so the application was undefended.
- ›The Division found the earlier RCD had been validly disclosed and that the charger body created the same overall impression on the informed user.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked individual character; the holder was ordered to pay costs.
