car ramp for dogs

Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued the contested dog car ramp lacked novelty and individual character over an earlier Amazon-listed four-panel ramp available since 15 November 2023.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon printout as sufficient internet disclosure and found the compared ramps 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 and was therefore declared invalid.
