Sommaire

The following point of law is referred to the Enlarged Board of Appeal:

Even if Article 82 EPC refers to a European patent application and Article 100 EPC does not give unity of invention as a ground for opposition, does application of Rule 61a EPC (cf. in particular Rules 27, 29 and 30 EPC) in the case of an amended European patent mean that the unity of invention demanded by Article 82 EPC comes under the "requirements of this Convention" mentioned in Article 102(3) EPC which the patent maintained in amended form must meet?
