Sommaire

1. The phrase "taking of evidence" in Article 104(1) EPC refers generally to the receiving of evidence during opposition proceedings by an Opposition Division or a Board of Appeal, whatever the form of such evidence (see Reasons, paragraph 3).

2. Facts and evidence in support of an opposition which are presented after the nine-month period for filing an opposition and which cause the incurring of additional costs by another party may for reasons of equity justify an order for apportionment of costs (see Reasons, paragraphs 4 to 7).
