Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying in particular on an Amazon disclosure of black fancy-dress wings before the filing date.
- ›The holder was invited to respond but filed no observations on the invalidity application or the cited prior design.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon printout as proof of public disclosure under Article 7(1) and found the prior and contested wing designs produced the same overall impression.
- ›The contested design lacked individual character under Article 6(1)(b), so the invalidity application was upheld and the holder was ordered to bear costs.
