schestowitz__"Mar 16 15:46
schestowitz__Serious questions arise in connection with "The EPO's apparent attempt to steamroller the new provision through (with only a very short consultation period)".Mar 16 15:46
schestowitz__The first, and most obvious, is the issue of whether those members of the EBA that were involved in crafting and/or advancing Art 15a RPBA will self-recuse. If they do not, then how will the public know which EBA members (other than the President of the Boards of Appeal, whose involvement in Art 15a RPBA is well known) might not, according to the objective standard, be impartial with regard to the question referred?Mar 16 15:46
schestowitz__The second question is why has the EPO still not provided any indication of the CONTENT of the various submissions to the EPO in connection with the consultation on Art 15a RPBA? We also still do not have any commentary from the EPO on why they chose to act (or not to act) on legal issues raised in the not-so-supportive submissions, several of which have been published by their authors. If the EPO does not intend to publish any Mar 16 15:46
schestowitz__such information and commentary, then it is hard to discern a legitimate purpose for conducting the consultation in the first place.Mar 16 15:46

schestowitz__"Mar 16 16:17
schestowitz__Are you referring to Art 2(2) RPEBA ("The Chairman of the Enlarged Board of Appeal shall determine the composition of the Board for each particular case in accordance with the business distribution scheme")?Mar 16 16:17
schestowitz__If so, then it seems that there is a lacuna in the RPEBA. That is, there appears to be no indication as to how Art 2(2) RPEBA should be interpreted in the situation where the President of the BoA is obliged (under Art 24(1) or (2) EPC) to recuse himself or herself from the proceedings.Mar 16 16:17
schestowitz__This is a bit concerning, because determining the composition of the EBA would most definitely be "taking part in the proceedings" ... and so would be contrary to Art 24 EPC if it were to happen. It will therefore be VERY interesting to see whether the EPO provides complete transparency on how they decide to handle this point.Mar 16 16:17
schestowitz__Of course, it is important to note that objections under Art 24(3) EPC is also available to the parties in this case.Mar 16 16:17
