- Sommaire
If a notice of opposition is filed in a language of a Contracting State other than an official language of the EPO and the translation prescribed in Article 14(4) EPC is not filed in due time, this notice shall be deemed not to have been received, and the opposition fee is to be refunded (following T 323/87, OJ EPO 1989,343). Since the opposition is not in existence, examination for its admissibility under Rule 56(1) EPC does not come into question.
