Catchwords:

A monitoring system for EPO time limits should contain an independent cross-check to prevent the misunderstanding between a representative and a technical assistant from assuring that a notice of appeal will be prepared and filed on time by the other person. Where a misunderstanding is likely to arise as a result of the two being responsible for the same file, the assistant must have clear instructions on how to proceed.
