Dispute Summary
The appeal challenged the rejection of designs related to GUIs on display screens. The appellants argued that strict interpretations by the Controller rejected GUI as not being an article or having permanence. The court held that the respondent authorities failed to apply correct legal tests, setting aside the impugned orders and remanding the cases for fresh consideration.
