Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of the contested baking paper design for lack of individual character, arguing it was a standard baking paper cup with no fanciful features.
- ›The applicant relied, inter alia, on earlier EU design registration No 015011553-0001 published in 2023; the holder filed no observations.
- ›The Division found the earlier design was properly disclosed and that both designs created the same overall impression despite only minor differences in corners, walls, pleats, and shade.
- ›The application was upheld because the contested design lacked individual character under Article 25(1)(b) in conjunction with Articles 4(1) and 6(1)(b) EUDR.
