Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of EU design No 015092175-0010 under Article 25(1)(b).
- ›After the invalidity application was filed, the holder surrendered the contested design and the surrender was entered in the register.
- ›The Office invited the applicant to show a legitimate interest in a decision on invalidity despite the surrender under Article 24(2).
- ›The applicant stated that it no longer had a legitimate interest, so the Division rejected the application as inadmissible under Article 30(1).
- ›Because the holder surrendered the design after the invalidity filing, the holder was ordered to reimburse the applicant’s fixed costs and fee of EUR 720.
