11.4. Reimbursement of appeal fee in case of interlocutory revision
Overview
The appeal fee may be reimbursed in full under R. 103(1)(a) EPC in the event of interlocutory revision.
- T 955/20
Catchword:
1. A request for reimbursement of the appeal fee under Rule 103(1)(a) EPC can no longer be filed after the department of first instance has granted interlocutory revision (Reasons 2).
2. If the department of first instance grants interlocutory revision only to refine the written reasons which already complied with Rule 111(2) EPC, this may constitute a substantial procedural violation (Reasons 1).
