Chillife Set de 146 parches medical patches
https://www.amazon.es; ASIN B09ZV1QXL1 · Amazon.es · disclosed 2022-06-17
Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant claimed the contested medical-patch design lacked novelty and individual character because an identical or highly similar design had already been disclosed.
- ›The applicant relied on an Amazon.es product listing for 'Chillife Set de 146 parches' with ASIN B09ZV1QXL1, shown as available since 17/06/2022.
- ›The holder filed no observations, so the disclosure evidence and the applicant's comparison were left unrebutted.
- ›The Division found the earlier Amazon disclosure proven and the overall impression unchanged, so it upheld the application and invalidated the contested design.
