Amazon listing for the “WoodandHearts Klettergerüst” climbing frame
ASIN B08 R41 MMW7 · Amazon.de · disclosed 2021-06-22
Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on an earlier climbing-frame design sold on Amazon before the filing date.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon listing as prior disclosure under Article 7(1) and found the compared climbing-frame designs overwhelmingly similar in overall impression.
- ›The contested design lacked individual character under Article 6(1)(b), so the application was upheld and the design declared invalid.
