Headnote: The respondent to an appeal and former opponent, who "withdraws his opposition" ceases to be a party to appeal proceedings as far as the substantive issues (re: existence and scope of the patent right) are concerned. However this leaves his party status unaffected insofar as the question of apportionment of costs under Article 104 EPC is at issue (see point 2).
