Orientierungssatz
When after remittal the proprietor files new requests which require examination to be re-opened on issues that have already been judged upon by the Board of Appeal, without the justification that might be provided, for example, by the proprietor being faced with a new situation, then such requests should be deemed to be inadmissible.
