Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, relying on a Facebook post, a 2018 invoice, a quotation sheet, and an affidavit concerning jelly burger candies.
- ›The holder argued the evidence did not prove effective disclosure to the relevant EU circles and that the product depictions were unclear, unreliable, or unsupported by independent corroboration.
- ›The Invalidity Division found the alleged prior designs were not clearly identified or depicted with sufficient precision, and the affidavit was too general and uncorroborated to prove disclosure.
- ›Because disclosure under Article 7(1) EUDR was not established, the Division rejected the invalidity application without assessing novelty or individual character on the merits.
