Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character based on two Facebook disclosures of the Sun5 nail UV lamp.
- ›The holder argued both disclosures came from the previous holder and therefore fell within the Article 7(2) EUDR grace period.
- ›The Division found the Facebook posts were attributable to the previous holder, disclosed within the 12-month grace period, and unrebutted by the applicant.
- ›Because D1 and D2 could not be considered for novelty or individual character, the invalidity application was rejected as unfounded.
