Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›Applicant relied on an Amazon.de offer for Suertree reading glasses, available since 27/08/2018, and argued the contested spectacles lacked novelty and individual character over that earlier design.
- ›Holder did not file observations in response to the application.
- ›The Division accepted the Amazon printout as sufficient proof of disclosure and found the compared eyeglass frames shared the same shape, rims, bridge, temples and overall configuration.
- ›Application upheld because the contested design lacked individual character over the disclosed prior design.
