- Sommaire
1. A statement "applicant wishes to abandon this application" may be considered as unambiguous withdrawal of a European patent application if nothing in the circumstances under which the statement was made could be taken as qualifying such an interpretation.
2. Article 125 EPC is only applicable in the absence of relevant procedural provisions in the Convention. It is not applicable when the question submitted to the Board is only a question of interpretation of a specific statement made to the EPO by an applicant for a European patent.
