- ›The applicant relied on Amazon.es screenshots for the product “Praemoo Emisor manual compatible con Hörmann”, including ASIN data and customer review dates.

- ›The Division found the Amazon disclosure sufficiently proved prior disclosure and held the compared remote-control designs created the same overall impression on the informed user.
- ›The application was upheld, the contested RCD was declared invalid in full, and the holder was ordered to pay EUR 750 in costs.
