| Catchwords: |
In principle, an opposition division may set aside a decision to enlarge its composition pursuant to Article 19(2) EPC (Reasons, point 11.2). Where an opposition division has been enlarged, but the case is nevertheless decided in a composition of three members, there should be clear evidence on the public file that a decision to set aside enlargement was taken by the opposition division in its four member composition prior to the final decision (Reasons, point 17.3). |
