Argument summary
- ›The applicant alleged lack of novelty and individual character based on an identical pet bed allegedly available in Germany before the filing date.
- ›The holder was invited to comment on the application but filed no observations.
- ›The Division found the website printout undated and incomplete, and the affidavit, invoice, and photos insufficiently linked to the alleged earlier disclosure.
- ›Because disclosure under Article 7 was not proven, the invalidity grounds failed and the application was rejected.
