fruit jellies on a stick
RCD No 008663439-0003 · Community Designs Bulletin · disclosed 2021-10-19
Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›Applicant relied on earlier RCD 008663439-0003 for fruit jellies on a stick and argued the contested design created the same overall impression.
- ›Holder filed no observations.
- ›The Division accepted bulletin publication as disclosure, found high design freedom for confectionery shapes, and held the shared arrangement of seven pink jellies on a white stick outweighed minor differences.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked individual character.
