Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity because the contested RCD's views were allegedly contradictory and the design was not clearly defined under Article 25(1)(a) and Article 3 CDR.
- ›The holder requested a partial surrender deleting the challenged views, denied accepting the invalidity claims, and objected that a later-added Article 25(1)(b) ground was out of time.
- ›After the Office recorded the partial surrender, the Division found the original contradiction complaint had lost its object and asked the applicant to show a legal interest in a merits decision.
- ›The applicant did not respond, so the Division closed the case without a merits decision and treated the late-added lack-of-individual-character ground as inadmissible.
