- Keywords
- Petition allowable (no), no violation of petitioner's right to be heard
- Catchword
- When the EPO refuses a request, there is no need to base the refusal on multiple legal grounds for refusal that were the subject of the proceedings, as long as the party adversely affected has been heard on all of these grounds.
If a request is refused and multiple factual approaches have been relied on by the requester to support a certain legal conclusion, then all those approaches must be assessed (affirming R 2/14, points 10 and 11). - Citing cases
