- Exergue
- The present international application was filed on 10 November 2005. Thus, the protest procedure was subject to the amended Rule 40.2 PCT entered into force on 1 April 2005 the aim of which was to provide only one instance of review. This procedure does not leave room for a further review carried out by the board of appeal (see points 2 to 9 of the reasons). In the present case, the review body constituted within the EPO acting as the ISA concluded that the invitation to pay additional fees had been justified. Nevertheless, disregarding the new procedure, it invited the applicant to pay the protest fee only after its review, which amounts to a substantial procedural violation. Thus, the fee must be reimbursed.
