From EUIPO API metadata.
Argument summary
- ›The applicant filed an invalidity application against the contested EU design under Article 25(1)(b).
- ›After the application was filed, the holder surrendered the contested design and the Office informed the applicant that it had to show a legitimate interest in a decision on invalidity.
- ›The applicant then stated that it no longer had a legitimate interest in pursuing a decision on the surrendered design.
- ›The Division rejected the application as inadmissible and ordered the holder to bear the invalidity fee and the applicant’s costs because the surrender occurred after the filing of the application.
