Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on earlier stroller designs disclosed on Amazon before the filing date.
- ›The holder argued that the contested design differed in features such as belts, buckles, canopy, wheels, basket frame, and closure details.
- ›The Division rejected D1 as insufficiently proven because the submitted extracts did not conclusively establish the disclosed design on the cited webpage and date.
- ›The Division accepted D2 as properly disclosed on Amazon on 2021-05-29 and found the differences too minor to alter the overall impression on the informed user.
- ›The invalidity application was upheld, the contested design was declared invalid for lack of individual character, and costs were awarded against the holder.
