- 1. As oral proceedings had been requested by the appellant-applicant in the event that an adverse decision on the request for re-establishment of rights and on the appeal were taken, the Board should have arranged for the holding of oral proceedings pursuant to Article 116(1) EPC before taking any such adverse decision.
2. The failure to arrange oral proceedings constitutes a fundamental procedural defect within the meaning of Article 112a(2)(d) and Rule 104(a) EPC since, as a result, the appellant-applicant did not have the opportunity to present the case orally on the decisive issues of re-establishment of rights and the admissibility of the appeal.
3. As a consequence, the decision is to be set aside, proceedings before the Board are to be re-opened and the fee for the petition for review is to be reimbursed. - Affaires citées
