- In principle, an opposition division may set aside a decision to enlarge its composition pursuant to Article 19(2) EPC (Reasons, point 11.2).
Where an opposition division has been enlarged, but the case is nevertheless decided in a composition of three members, there should be clear evidence on the public file that a decision to set aside enlargement was taken by the opposition division in its four member composition prior to the final decision (Reasons, point 17.3).
Order
For these reasons it is decided that:
1. The decision under appeal is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the department of first instance for further prosecution.
3. The appeal fee shall be reimbursed.
