Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, arguing the contested fruit-gum design closely matched an earlier registered design.
- ›The holder was invited to respond but filed no observations in the invalidity proceedings.
- ›The Division accepted prior RCD No 008663439-0002 as disclosed and found the compared designs shared the same overall impression for the informed user.
- ›Given the designer's broad freedom for fruit gums, the colour arrangement and minor shape differences were insufficient; the contested design lacked individual character and was invalidated.
