I. If a professional representative files notice of opposition in his own name although - as he later allows - he is acting in a professional capacity on behalf of a client, the notice does not comply with Rule 55 EPC.
II. The question whether in such a case the deficiencies in the notice of opposition can be remedied in accordance with Rule 56(2) EPC, even after a considerable lapse of time, has not been determined. III.If a party to proceedings communicates to the Board shortly before the oral proceedings facts that are significant to its decision and which would have rendered oral proceedings unnecessary, it may be equitable to require him to pay the costs incurred by the other party as a result of the oral proceedings.
