- Sommaire
Documents filed as evidence during opposition proceedings and submissions referring to them in principle remain in the file until the end of the proceedings and for at least five more years.
Documents filed as evidence may only exceptionally and on a substantiated request remain unconsidered and be returned.
Such an exception exists if the interests of the filing party in having them returned unconsidered clearly prevail over the interests of any other party and the public interest.
This may be the case if the documents were filed in breach of a confidentiality agreement and if they did not belong to the state of the art but were third party statements filed against the opposition, and if the other parties involved agreed with the request.
The same applies to submissions referring to such documents.
