Lunula necklace / crescent-shaped jewellery design
http://ankakrystyniak.com (Internet Archive snapshot) · Internet Archive / ankakrystyniak.com · disclosed 2016-03-15
Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant claimed the contested jewellery design lacked novelty and individual character, relying in particular on an identical Lunula necklace disclosed on the holder’s website on 15/03/2016.
- ›The holder argued the design was new and individual, and disputed whether the internet evidence proved disclosure to the relevant specialised circles.
- ›The Invalidity Division found the Internet Archive evidence sufficient under Article 7(1) EUDR and held that the holder did not rebut the presumption of disclosure.
- ›Given the designer’s significant freedom in jewellery and the same overall impression, the Division found no individual character and declared the design invalid.
