Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued lack of novelty based on five Amazon.de stair-handrail listings published before 19/06/2024.
- ›The holder said Annexes 3 and 4 were authorised disclosures within the 12-month grace period and Annexes 1, 2 and 5 were copies of its products.
- ›The Division found Article 6 inadmissible for lack of substantiation, treated Annexes 1 to 4 as insufficient or excluded evidence, and accepted only Annex 5 as a disclosed prior design.
- ›Comparing Annex 5 with the contested design, the Division found non-immaterial differences in the bottom mounting parts and rejected the invalidity application.
