Leitsatz

1. A Board of Appeal can only examine appeals from decisions of other instances of the EPO (Article 21(1) EPC). Thus it cannot examine a request for a correction, based on Rule 89 EPC, of the decision under appeal. A decision on this request must be first rendered by the Examining Division before the matter can be referred to the Board of Appeal.

2. An applicant for a European patent may only be "adversely affected" within the meaning of Article 107 EPC by a decision to grant the patent if such a decision is inconsistent with what he has specifically requested.
