- While the amending of Rule 117 EPC may have been occasioned by a particular situation (in this case the pandemic), the wording of Rule 117 EPC does not limit its application to a pandemic or similar exceptional situation. It thus applies irrespective of whether the situation which occasioned its amendment persists or not (Reasons 2.3.2 (a)).
The board is not aware of any statement by the Enlarged Board in G 1/21 that would be even indirectly - let alone directly - applicable to hearing a witness. (Reasons 2.3.2 (e)). - Zitierende Akten
