Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on Chinese design CN201230004277.3 for strollers.
- ›The holder argued the earlier design had not been properly disclosed to relevant EU circles and, in any event, the compared designs created different overall impressions.
- ›The Division held the Chinese registration extract and INID code 45 proved disclosure before the contested filing date, despite incomplete translation.
- ›On the merits, the Division found significant structural and visual differences in the frame, joints, wheel attachments and basket, producing a different overall impression.
- ›The invalidity application was rejected and the applicant was ordered to pay EUR 400 in costs.
