- Leitsatz
The examination of an opposition under Article 101 EPC is limited by the statement in the Notice of Opposition of the extent to which the patent is opposed. Article 114(1) EPC should be interpreted as subject to Article 101 EPC in this respect. Neither the Opposition Division nor a Board of Appeal has the obligation or the power to examine and decide on the maintenance of the European patent except to the extent to which it is opposed (cf. point 3 of the Reasons).
