Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued that the registered views were materially inconsistent and did not depict a single clear product under Article 3(1) EUDR.
- ›In the alternative, the applicant claimed the figurine lacked individual character over its earlier figurine disclosures, including Instagram posts and prior commercial dealings.
- ›The holder was invited to respond but filed no observations.
- ›The Invalidity Division found view 3.1 clearly contradicted views 3.2 to 3.4, so the representation lacked the clarity, certainty and precision required for a unitary design.
- ›The application was upheld under Article 25(1)(a) EUDR, the design was declared invalid, and the remaining ground was not examined.
