Title of application: -
Applicant name: Etat français
Opponent name: -
Board: 3.2.01
Headnote: Documents cited for the first time by the opponent in his statement of grounds for appeal despite the fact that he ought to have known them to exist are documents submitted late which the Board is not bound to consider (Article 114(2) EPC), even though it is of the opinion that it should do so, pursuant to Article 114(1) EPC, where it reckons them to be particularly relevant. In this case the matter should,as a rule, be referred to the first instance so as not unfairly to deprive the patent proprietor (respondent) of a hearing before a judicial body unless, in the absence of any comment whatsoever by the respondent, such referral appears unjustified.
Relevant legal provisions:
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 52
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 54
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 111(1)
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 114(1)
European Patent Convention 1973 Art 114(2)
