Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›Applicant argued the contested toy building-block set lacked novelty and individual character because similar products had been sold on Amazon before the filing date.
- ›Applicant relied on an Amazon.it listing for a 124-piece beginner set, first available on 17 October 2017, as evidence of prior disclosure.
- ›Holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division found the Amazon listing sufficiently proved disclosure and held that the contested design created the same overall impression as the prior design, so it lacked individual character.
- ›The invalidity application was upheld, the contested design was declared invalid, and costs were awarded against the holder.
