Leitsatz

A legal situation equivalent to entry of a payment in an account held by the EPO within the meaning of Article 8(1)(a) of the Rules relating to Fees also exists - as in the case of Decision J 26/80 of 13 November 1981 (OJ 1/1982, p.7) - where the payment of the opposition fee is made at a bank or post office in which the EPO has an account in due time, and thereby fulfils conditions under national law whereby the payer can neither revoke the payment nor can it be antedated, and where (as in the present case) evidence was provided in the form of a declaration by the opponent's professional representative within the opposition period, accompanied by a photocopy of the payment receipt stamped by the Post Office.
