The amount of the opposition fee specified in the Rules relating to Fees under the EPC must be paid before expiry of the time limit for opposition.[Art. 99(1); ]
An opposition filed in common by two or more persons, which otherwise meets the requirements of Art. 99 and Rules 3 and Rule 76, is admissible on payment of only one opposition fee (see G 3/99).
As regards the legal consequences and the procedure where the fee is not paid in good time, see D‑IV, 1.2.1(i) and D-IV, 1.4.1.
