Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character, arguing the contested design was just a standard paper baking mould.
- ›The applicant relied, inter alia, on earlier EU design registration No 015011553-0001 published on 06/03/2023; the holder filed no observations.
- ›The Division accepted that earlier registration as a prior disclosure under Article 7(1) EUDR and found the designer had at least average freedom.
- ›Because the compared designs shared the same basic shape, walls and pleated corners, only minor differences remained; the application was upheld and the design invalidated.
