- Leitsatz
1. The filing of a general authorisation does not, without any additional information with respect to a specific case, imply the appointment of a professional representative.
2. The principle of protection of legitimate expectations according to which communications of the European Patent Office, including official forms, must be clear and unambiguous, does not extend so far as to require comprehensive legal advice to be contained in such forms.
