Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on at least two earlier disclosures including Chinese design CN 303326153 S.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division treated the Chinese bulletin extract as proving disclosure on 2015-08-12 and found the prior and contested glasses created the same overall impression on the informed user.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked individual character under Article 6(1)(b) EUDR, so the design was declared invalid.
