Oral proceedings before the opposition divisions and the boards of appeal
We have reported in our IP Alert of April, which you can find here, that the Oral Proceedings before the Examining Division are now being held by default via videoconferencing, which was arranged in response to the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Previously, this was only possible upon request. Here we present some changes regarding the Oral Proceedings before the Opposition Divisions and the Boards of Appeal at the EPO due to the spread of the Coronavirus.
