Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on an earlier food storage container allegedly disclosed on Amazon.
- ›The holder did not file observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division found the annexes did not reliably prove disclosure because they lacked a verifiable source, did not clearly show the invoked design, and did not link the screenshots to the comparison table.
- ›The evidence did not establish prior disclosure under Article 7(1), so the invalidity grounds failed and the application was rejected.
