Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›Applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on an earlier Amazon disclosure of the 'B Swish Bgee Classic Negro' product.
- ›Holder was invited to respond to the invalidity application but filed no observations.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon printout as sufficient internet disclosure from 20 November 2012 and found both designs created the same overall impression on the informed user.
- ›The application was upheld, the contested design was invalidated, and the separate novelty ground was left unexamined as unnecessary.
