- ›The holder was invited to file observations but did not respond.
- ›The Division accepted the Chinese patent publication as prior disclosure under Article 7(1) CDR and found the compared designs materially identical overall.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked novelty, and the holder was ordered to pay costs.
