Sommaire

The suspensive effect of an appeal deprives the contested decision of all legal effect until the appeal is decided. Otherwise the appeal would be deprived of any purpose.

Thus, in the event of appeal against a decision refusing to suspend publication of the mention of grant of a patent, publication must be deferred pending the outcome of the appeal.

If - as in the present case - suspension of publication proves impossible for practical reasons, the EPO must take appropriate steps to inform the public that the mention of grant was not valid.
