Polyolefin composition
I. The appeal contests the decision of the Examining Division 013 of the European Patent Office dated 21 June 1993 refusing the European patent application No. 88 300 239.6. The decision was dispatched by registered letter with advice of delivery to the applicant on the same day. The Appellant filed a notice of appeal by a letter received on 6 August 1993 and paid the fee for appeal on the same day. No Statement of Grounds was filed. The notice of appeal contains nothing that could be regarded as a Statement of Grounds pursuant to Article 108 EPC.
II. By a communication dated 12 January 1994 sent by registered letter with advice of delivery, the Registry of the Board informed the Appellant that no Statement of Grounds had been filed and that the appeal could be expected to be rejected as inadmissible. The Appellant was invited to file observations within two months.
III. No answer has been given to the Registry's communication.
As no written statement setting out the grounds of appeal has been filed, the appeal has to be rejected as inadmissible (Article 108 EPC in conjunction with Rule 65(1) EPC).
ORDER
For these reasons, it is decided that:
The appeal is rejected as inadmissible.
