Relevante Rechtsnormen
European Patent Convention Art 123(2)European Patent Convention Art 84Rules of procedure of the Boards of Appeal Art 13(1)
Schlagwörter
Main request and first, third and fifth auxiliary requests - clarity (no)
Final set of requests not admitted - state of the proceedings and procedural economy
Orientierungssatz
The state of the proceedings and the need for procedural economy taken together imply a requirement on a party to present appropriate requests as soon as possible if such requests are to be admitted and considered. (point 5.5)
If an objection (made by a party and/or by the Board) is not fully understood in a particular case, it is then, at the very least, incumbent on the party having difficulties with understanding an objection to indicate this at the earliest possible stage and make appropriate effort to have the objection clarified. A lack of understanding alone cannot justify postponing amendments to a party's case until a later stage in the proceedings.(point 5.9)
