Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

If the third party requests under Art. 61(1)(c) that the earlier application be refused, the EPO must accede to this request. The decision is open to appeal (Art. 106(1)).[Art. 61(1)(c); ]
