- ›Applicant relied on dated Facebook posts, plus YouTube and archived website printouts, showing an earlier white vehicle bodywork.
- ›Holder filed no observations.
- ›The Division accepted disclosure from the 05/02/2018 Facebook evidence, limited protection to the claimed loading-body features, and found only insignificant drawer-handle differences.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design was not new.
