Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character and argued that the design’s features were dictated exclusively by technical function.
- ›The applicant relied on two earlier EU design registrations and an Amazon/Internet Archive disclosure; the holder filed no observations.
- ›The Division found no proof that all visible features were exclusively technically dictated and considered the designer’s freedom at least medium.
- ›Compared with each earlier design, the contested design created a different overall impression and was not identical, so the invalidity grounds failed.
- ›The invalidity application was dismissed and the applicant was ordered to reimburse the holder’s costs of EUR 400.
