- The question of whether a fresh ground of opposition has been raised - and, therefore, of whether the agreement of the patentee is required - has to be distinguished from the question of whether there has been an amendment to a party's appeal case. The admissibility of amendments represents a separate, independent issue and is subject to the discretion of the board under Article 114(2) EPC and Articles 12 and 13 RPBA.
