Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued that the contested ice lolly mould design lacked novelty and individual character over an earlier Allegro-listed design disclosed on 31 October 2019.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted the Allegro listing as prior disclosure under Article 7(1) and found the designer's freedom only partly constrained by function.
- ›It held that the shared form, configuration and appearance created the same overall impression on the informed user, so the design lacked individual character.
- ›The application was upheld, the contested design was declared invalid, and costs were awarded against the holder.
