Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›Applicant argued the contested design's views were inconsistent and ambiguous, so it did not represent a single design or product under Article 3(a) CDR.
- ›Holder replied that all views showed the same composite concrete-production installation and that the disputed views were permissible sectional views.
- ›The Invalidity Division found the seven views were coherent, complementary sectional and aspect views of one product without contradictions.
- ›The Article 25(1)(a) claim failed because the design was clear, precise and registrable; the application was rejected and costs awarded to the holder.
