With respect to a communication under Rule 51(4) EPC 1973 dated 13 February 2007 and referring to EPO form 2004 01.06CSX instead of former EPO form 2004 07.02CSX, the board applies decision T 1181/04 of 31 January 2005, OJ EPO 2005, 312. The corresponding statement of T 1181/04 that a communication under Rule 51(4) EPC 1973 (now Rule 71(3) EPC 2000) is not intended to terminate the examination procedure but is rather a preparatory action and is therefore as such not appealable and consequently that an appeal against such a communication is normally to be considered inadmissible is confirmed (see point 1 of the decision). |
