- Leitsatz
1. It is the duty of the Opposition Division, having communicated its intention to organise oral proceedings, to inform the parties as soon as possible of a withdrawal of the request for oral proceedings by one of the parties and the subsequent change of attitude of the Opposition Division towards holding oral proceedings.
2. Filed documents, which, as a consequence of a substantial procedural violation, are to be withdrawn from the part of the file available for public inspection and which furthermore do not fall under one of the alternatives (a) to (d) of Rule 93 EPC have to be returned to the filing party on its request.
