- Although the board is prepared, in principle, to consider in exceptional circumstances the holding of ex parte oral proceedings by video conference, for the reasons set out in point 1.2.5 the conditions are not met in the present case.
Moreover a party's right to be heard under Article 113(1) EPC does not imply a separate right of the party's representative to be heard and therefore does not imply a right to have oral proceedings before the EPO held by video conference (see point 1.3.18).
Order
For these reasons it is decided that:
The request to refer questions to the Enlarged Board of Appeal is refused.
The appeal is dismissed.
The request to reimburse the appeal fee is refused.
