I. If the appeal fee has not been paid until after the expiry of the period of two months provided for in Article 108 EPC, the Registrar has good reason to consider that the appeal is inadmissible; he will therefore advise the appellant of the loss of a right, pursuant to Rule 69(1) EPC.
II. The appellant may apply for a decision of the Board of Appeal against the finding of the Registrar, pursuant to Rule 69(2) EPC.
III. If that finding is confirmed by the Board of Appeal, reimbursement of the appeal fee will be ordered.
