Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of EU design No. 015092175-0011 under Article 25(1)(b) EUDR.
- ›After the invalidity application was filed, the holder surrendered the contested design and the surrender was entered in the register.
- ›When invited to show a legitimate interest in a decision on the surrendered design, the applicant stated that no such interest remained.
- ›The Invalidity Division therefore rejected the invalidity application as inadmissible and ordered the holder to pay EUR 720 in costs because it surrendered the design after the application was filed.
