- Leitsatz
1. A claim request which was replaced by another request in proceedings before the opposition division because it was manifest that it would fail thereby avoiding a formal decision, and which was filed on appeal, was considered inadmissible (cf. points 1 to 3 of the Reasons).
2. A third party within the meaning of Article 115 EPC is not a party to any proceedings and has no more than an opportunity to "present observations", the admissibility of which is entirely a matter for the board (cf. points 4 to 7 of the Reasons).
