Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on three earlier electric cleaning brush disclosures from Amazon materials and hyperlinks.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division found D1 to D3 were not proven disclosed because the evidence lacked reliable URLs, dates, or complete webpage printouts, and hyperlinks alone were insufficient.
- ›Because disclosure under Article 7 CDR was not established, the Division did not assess novelty or individual character further and rejected the application.
