The following are examples of acts that the respective boards have found did not qualify as an objection under R. 106 EPC:

In R 1/14 the Enlarged Board held that it was an indispensable prerequisite for the admissibility of a petition that an objection be raised "in good time", i.e. at a time when the board can still rectify the alleged violation. An objection to a refusal to postpone the date of oral proceedings must therefore be made before or, at the latest, at the beginning of these oral proceedings.
