Admissibility of opposition (no)
UK Partnership
Exergue
In accordance with decision G 3/99, where it is doubtful whether an opposition is filed on behalf of a body which enjoys legal personality in its own right or on behalf of several natural persons acting in common, the opponents (here a UK partnership) should be invited to establish that the body is a legal person or an equivalent thereto. If this is not established, the opposition is to be considered as having been filed on behalf of the several natural persons as common opponents. In that case the opponents still have to furnish the names and addresses of the partners in order to comply with Rule 55, sub-paragraph (a) EPC. If this information is not received within a period specified by the Board, the opposition must be rejected as inadmissible under Rule 56(2) EPC, irrespective of whether or not such information would have been sufficient to prevent rejection under Rule 56(1) EPC.
