Schlagwörter
Fresh grounds filed for the first time in appeal proceedings - not admitted
Request at oral proceedings to file further auxiliary requests - not allowed
Inventive step - main and auxiliary requests (no)
Orientierungssatz
During oral proceedings before the board a party, here the respondent, asked permission to file further requests aimed at defining more narrowly the claimed subject-matter. This request was refused for two reasons: firstly, the need for further requests had been foreseeable before the oral proceedings, since the Board, in a communication, had given a negative reasoned provisional opinion why the main request did not appear to involve an inventive step and secondly, the proposed subject-matter of the requests could lead to further searches being necessary by the other party with the possibility of remittal so that the requests were not prima facie allowable.
