According to Art. 25(3) RPBA, where the summons to oral proceedings or a communication of the board under R. 100(2) EPC was notified before the date of entry into force (1 January 2020), new Art. 13(2) RPBA did not apply. Instead, Art. 13 RPBA 2007 continued to apply. For summaries of decisions in which these transitional provisions were applied, see CLB, 10th edn. 2022, V.A.4.5.2.
