Further, it was contended that the smooth surface of the upper face of the product concerned by the contested design is not included among the features identified by the Board of Appeal, which is not a technical function of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EUIPO rejects the applicant\u2019s arguments and contends, primarily, that Article 8(3) of Regulation No. 6\/2002 was inapplicable to the present case. Further, as to the smooth surface of the product, the EUIPO argued that the absence of a stud is also a technical function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"case-overview\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Decision: <\/strong>The Board of Appeal identified the following features of the appearance of the product:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:lower-roman\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the row of studs on the upper face of the brick;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the row of smaller circles on the lower face of the brick;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the two rows of bigger circles on the lower face of the brick;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the rectangular shape of the brick;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the thickness of the walls of the brick and,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the cylindrical shape of the studs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"legal-framework\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Framework_Under_Article_8\"><\/span>Legal Framework Under Article 8<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 8 (1) and article 8 (2) of the regulation invalidate a design if all the features of its appearance are solely dictated by the technical function of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in this case the applicant contended that the brick design falls under the exception laid down under article 8(3), which says if a community design fulfills the conditions under article 5 \u2013 Novelty and article 6 \u2013 Individual Character, then it is an exclusion to article 8(1) and article 8(2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-legal-provisions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Legal_Provisions\"><\/span>Key Legal Provisions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Article<\/th><th>Provision<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Article 5<\/td><td>Novelty<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Article 6<\/td><td>Individual Character<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Article 8(1) &amp;

It is a feature of the appearance of that product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"burden-of-proof\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Burden_Of_Proof\"><\/span>Burden Of Proof<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, it was held that the burden of proof is on the applicant for a declaration of invalidity to demonstrate that all the features of the appearance of the product concerned by the contested design are solely dictated by the technical function of that product; however, the EUIPO failed to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-judgment\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Judgment\"><\/span>Final Judgment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Board of Appeal failed to identify all features of appearance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not all features were purely technical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Article 8(1) was infringed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, the court held that the Board of Appeal infringed Article 8(1) of Regulation No. 6\/2002 in the present case in that it did not identify all the features of appearance of the product concerned by the contested design and did not establish that all of those features were solely dictated by the technical function of that product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court annulled the decision of the board of appeals and upheld the decision of the Cancellation Division rejecting the application for a declaration of invalidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"legal-significance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Significance_Of_The_Case\"><\/span>Legal Significance Of The Case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case clarifies that for a design to be invalid under Article 8(1), all features must be dictated solely by technical function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recognition of even a single non-functional feature ensures continued protection, thereby strengthening the scope of design rights in the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strengthens protection for industrial designs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourages inclusion of aesthetic elements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limits misuse of technical function doctrine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ruling may encourage manufacturers to incorporate minor aesthetic elements to retain design protection, even in function-driven products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Design vs Function: A Case Study of the Lego Brick Ruling The European Court of Justice\u2014The General Court (Second Chamber) Case No.: Case T-515\/19 (2021) Parties to the Case PartyDetailsApplicantLego A\/S, Represented by V. von Bomhard and J.
