- Sommaire
Suspensive effect means that the consequences following from an appealed decision do not immediately occur after the decision has been taken. Actions normally taking place after a decision are "frozen". Suspensive effect does not have the meaning of cancellation of the appealed decision. Even after an appeal the decision as such remains and can only be set aside or confirmed by the Board of Appeal.
The status of a divisional application filed while an appeal against the decision to grant a patent on the parent application is pending depends on the outcome of that appeal. Therefore, the department of first instance cannot decide on the question whether the divisional application has been validly filed until the decision of the Board of Appeal on the appeal is taken.
