It is consequently irrelevant in opposition proceedings that the European patent as granted or amended does not meet the requirement of unity.
Relevant legal provisions:
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 82
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 102(3)
European Patent Convention 1973 R 61a
Keywords: Unity in opposition - legally irrelevant
