Legal grounds invoked

Article 25(1)(b)Article 6(1)Article 7(1)

Argument summary

  • The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on an Amazon.de disclosure of Okany 'Blue Light Blocking Glasses' first available on 23 November 2020.
  • The holder was invited to respond but filed no observations, evidence, or arguments against disclosure or distinct overall impression.
  • The Division accepted the Amazon printout as prior disclosure under Article 7(1) and found the invoked black-frame glasses corresponded to the prior design relied on.
  • It found no meaningful shape differences and held the lens-tint difference insufficient to alter overall impression, so the contested design lacked individual character and was declared invalid.
