- Leitsatz
Effective withdrawal of a European patent application does not depend on whether the applicant has used the term "withdrawal". The language used must be interpreted having regard to the surrounding circumstances from which it must be clear that the applicant really wants immediate and unconditional withdrawal rather than passive abandonment leading in the course of time to deemed withdrawal.
