Leitsatz

1. Rule 28(1) EPC stipulates that a culture of the micro-organism must have been deposited with a recognised depositary institution not later than the date of filing of the application.

2. The applicant of an invention for a microbiological process and the depositor of a micro-organism must in principle be one and the same. Exceptionally it is justified to consider the parent company and subsidiary as one entity for the purposes of Rule 28 EPC, if the parent company has full control of the deposits made by the subsidiary company.
