7. Termination of appeal proceedings

Overview

7.2. Interlocutory decisions of a board

The boards issue interlocutory decisions on the admissibility of the appeal (T 152/82 date: 1983-09-05, OJ 1984, 301), on re-establishment in respect of the time limits for appeal (T 315/87 of 14 February 1989 date: 1989-02-14 and T 369/91 date: 1992-05-15, OJ 1993, 561), on the admissibility of an opposition (T 152/95 of 3 July 1996 date: 1996-07-03), and to inform the public rapidly (pending the final decision) that a mention of grant in the European Patent Bulletin was incorrect because of the appeal's suspensive effect (J 28/94 date: 1994-12-07, OJ 1995, 742). Referral of a point of law to the Enlarged Board is also an interlocutory decision.
