Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty based on its earlier hook disclosed in the public eProdukty / GS1 online catalogue before the contested design's filing date.
- ›The holder filed no observations and did not challenge the applicant's evidence or the alleged prior disclosure.
- ›The Invalidity Division found the screenshot evidence sufficient to prove public disclosure under Article 7 EUDR and found the prior and contested designs identical in their relevant features.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked novelty, so the Division did not examine the separate individual-character ground or other earlier designs.
