Exergue
I. If an opponent requests revocation of the patent in its entirety then the fact that no specific prior art material is cited against a dependent claim does not exclude that claim from the opposition (point 2.1 of the Reasons, paragraphs 3 and 4).
II. The fact that an opponent after the end of the opposition period subsequently submits prior art material originating from himself does not constitute an abuse of the proceedings in the absence of evidence that this was done deliberately for tactical reasons (see point 2.2 of the Reasons).

ORDER

For these reasons, it is decided that:

1. The appeal is dismissed.

2. The requests for refund of the appeal fee and for referral of a question to the Enlarged Board of Appeal are rejected.
