| Keywords: | Remittal with order to hold oral proceedings in Munich instead of The Hague - Board has no competence to take decision relating to the venues of oral proceedings Referral of question to the Enlarged Board of Appeal - (no, Board not competent) Clarity of claims - (no) Reimbursement of appeal fee - (no) |
||||||||
| Catchwords: |
The question of the venue of oral proceedings is a matter of organisational nature which belongs to the management of the Office pursuant to Art.10 (2) EPC. When not acceding to a request for holding oral proceedings in Munich instead of The Hague, the Examining Division does not take a decision but only expresses the way the EPO is managed. Consequently, that issue is not subject to appeal, nor can the Board refer a question on the venue of oral proceedings to the Enlarged Board of Appeal. |
