Leitsatz

If a national Office form is used in error to effect a debit order, with the result that the particulars given (e.g. addressee, account number, amount) are incorrect, the debit order is effective provided it at least gives particulars (in this instance, the patent number) attributable to an EPO dossier which when consulted establishes without doubt the particulars intended and thereby that the form addresses the EPO.
