Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant argued that the contested paper bag design was an identical reproduction of a paper bag disclosed on Amazon before the filing date.
- ›The holder filed no observations in response to the invalidity application.
- ›The Division treated the Amazon listing as sufficient internet disclosure and found the compared bags identical; colour, material and sticker details were irrelevant because they were not part of the contested drawings.
- ›The design lacked novelty under Article 25(1)(b) in conjunction with Article 5 EUDR, so the application was upheld and the design invalidated.
