schestowitzConsidering the appellants’ conduct of proceedings, it would be rather surprising if The Broad filed a petition for review in order to get the decision T 844/16 set aside. The consistent case law of the Enlarged Board of Appeal requires for a petition to be admissible that the petitioner has raised an objection under R. 106 EPC which must be specific, indicating clearly and unambiguously on which procedural defect the petitioner intends toFeb 03 04:01

Thus, the Board may have considered a referral not to be required within the meaning of Art. 112 (1) EPC.Feb 03 04:01
