Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on Chinese design No 202230153740.4 and Amazon Italy disclosure D1 dated 18/04/2023.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon Italy listing as a prior disclosure under Article 7(1) CDR and considered designer freedom for multi-functional playsets not substantially limited.
- ›Comparing the designs, the Division found the same overall impression on the informed user despite minor differences and held the contested design lacked individual character.
- ›The application was upheld, the contested design was invalidated in full, and the holder was ordered to pay fixed costs of EUR 750.
