Argument summary
- ›The applicant filed an invalidity application against the contested EU design under Article 25(1)(b).
- ›The holder surrendered the contested design after the invalidity application was filed, and the Office invited the applicant to demonstrate a continuing legitimate interest.
- ›The applicant stated that no legitimate interest remained in obtaining an invalidity ruling on the surrendered design.
- ›The Division dismissed the application as inadmissible and ordered the holder to bear the costs because the surrender occurred after the proceedings had begun.
