Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on earlier scanner designs allegedly offered on allegro.pl before the contested design's filing date.
- ›The holder's detailed response is not reproduced; the decision notes only in general terms that it denied the applicant had rights against the contested design.
- ›The Division held the applicant had not proven disclosure of the invoked earlier designs because the internet extracts lacked source information such as full URL details.
- ›Without proven disclosure under Article 7 CDR, the prior designs could not support the Article 5 and 6 grounds, so the invalidity application failed.
