- Headnote
A written statement setting out the grounds of appeal within the meaning of Article 108, third sentence, EPC, must contain reasons why the decision under appeal should be set aside. A written statement announcing only that the appellant will complete an omitted act, in this case the filing of the translations of the revised claims, within the four-month period allowed for submitting the grounds of appeal, does not comprise such reasons and therefore does not constitute a valid statement of the grounds of appeal.
