Schlagwörter
Postponement of oral proceedings (no - pre-booked holidays of a party outweighed by extraordinary organisational burden of the case)
Inventive step (no)
Orientierungssatz
The effort of postponing fixed oral proceedings until a date might be found which would suit numerous parties, the members of an extended Board, and the facility management of the European Patent Office, outweighs the effort of postponing or interrupting one representative's holiday booked to a destination within Europe. A strict standard has to be applied under these circumstances because a liberal approach might give rise to a series of postponements (point 2.1 of the Reasons).
