Argument summary
- ›Applicant argued the registered views disclosed two incompatible luminaire shapes and relied in part on a 27/06/2025 Alicante interim order as support for invalidity under Article 25(1)(a).
- ›Holder answered that all seven views depicted one rectangular luminaire, with any apparent discrepancy explained by perspective, and said the expert material only illustrated what was already visible.
- ›The Division treated the Alicante order as non-binding, assessed the registered views autonomously, and found no mutually exclusive configurations or insurmountable inconsistency.
- ›Application rejected because the contested design represented a single product and complied with Article 3(a) EUDR.
