Correction of the published European patent specification - refused
Catchword
In case of procedural violations in the granting procedure, rectification is only possible via appeal against the decision to grant (point 4.5).
A correction of the published European patent specification or of the decision to grant cannot be allowed when this specification corresponds to the true intention of the Examining Division when granting the patent (points 4.1-4.4)

Order

For these reasons it is decided that:

1. The decision under appeal is set aside.

2. The case is remitted to the department of first instance for further prosecution.

3. The appeal fee is to be reimbursed.
