- Headnote
I. Article 108, second sentence, EPC is not to be interpreted as meaning that merely sending the EPO a debit order for the appeal fee constitutes a valid means of filing the appeal (following J 19/90).
II. The absence of a reference to Rule 65 EPC in the annex to the communication of the possibility of appeal does not make the communication incomplete or misleading.
