- Headnote
Evidence relating to an Opponent's personal circumstances is insufficient, in itself, to undermine the credibility of his stated identity under Rule 55(a) EPC. This identity can only be challenged by cogent evidence that another legal/natural person is the true Opponent (point 3 of the Reasons).
