Exergue
1. Discussion of a possible general principle for staying proceedings before the EPO boards of appeal beyond Rules 14 / 78 EPC and Article 112(3) EPC, together with the associated case law.
2. The appellant has not stated a case for a stay. It has not shown, in particular, that a decision by the German Federal Constitutional Court ("Bundesverfassungsgericht") on pending constitutional complaints ("Verfassungsbeschwerden") against certain decisions of the Boards of Appeal and the Enlarged Board of Appeal claiming "insufficient judicial relief at the EPO against a decision of the Boards of Appeal" could possibly have an impact on unrelated proceedings that are pending before the boards, such as the present proceedings.

Order

For these reasons it is decided that:

1. The request for stay of the appeal proceedings is refused.

2. The appeal is dismissed.
