Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of individual character, relying on earlier Community design registration No 008663439-0003 for fruit jellies.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division found the earlier RCD had been disclosed by publication, that designer freedom for fruit gums was high, and that the two designs created the same overall impression.
- ›The application was upheld, the contested design was declared invalid, and costs were awarded against the holder.
