Appeal fee not paid - appeal deemed not to have been filed - Catchword
- It now seems to be settled case law of the Boards of Appeal that an appeal where the appeal fee is paid after the two-month time limit of Article 108, first sentence, has expired is deemed not to have been filed (see grounds 4 to 4.2).
Order
For these reasons it is decided that:
1. The request for re-establishment of rights is refused.
2. The appeal is deemed to not have been filed.
3. The appeal fee is reimbursed.
