Leitsatz

1. Boards of Appeal have the power to apportion and also to fix costs: Articles 104(1) and (2) and 111(1) EPC, having due regard to Article 113(1) EPC (paragraph 4 of the Reasons).

2. Their decisions are res judicata and final (paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Reasons).

3. A communication by the first instance despite being entitled a "decision", and having the sole effect of informing a party of the points listed above does not rank as a "decision" for the purposes of Article 106(1) EPC (paragraph 5 of the Reasons). An appeal against such an act is therefore inadmissible (paragraph 5 of the Reasons).
