In T 1204/13, Mr S., the representative acting for the original opponent, submitted that it had since merged with its parent company. The board held that, if so, its opponent status would have been automatically transferred to its universal successor in title but, if not, it remained the opponent. In any event, Mr S. was entitled to act as professional representative in either case and so to make submissions on behalf of whichever opponent he now represented.
