schestowitz__Dear Anon of 10.47Jan 21 13:44
schestowitz__I am inclined to think that you are much more familiar with UK practice than with European practice.Jan 21 13:44
schestowitz__As far as I know, UK appeal is much more law based than at the EPO. This is certainly not the case at the boards. When the documents (prior art, requests) filed in appeal are admitted in the procedure, the discussion is mainly about technique. Jan 21 13:44
schestowitz__In opposition, there is also not a lot of written input at the EPO, as there are in general at best two exchanges. The OD summons rapidly to OP in order to avoid ping-pong between opponent and proprietor. If possible the OD gives its provisional opinion in the annex to the summons. Jan 21 13:44
schestowitz__In my experience and should necessity arise, the applicant/inventor is as useful in opposition as in examination. But be it in examination a representative should know from its client what his needs are and what is useless to him. Jan 21 13:44
schestowitz__Whether one takes Japanese or US applicants, or applicants sitting next door to the EPO, they are mostly using qualified representatives.Jan 21 13:44
schestowitz__That UK representatives have longer to travel to the EPO than Munich ones is not a reason to have OP in form of a ViCo. The same applies for Finnish or Turkish representatives. Jan 21 13:44
