Information from the Boards of Appeal

This page provides links to notices of the President of the BoA, other organs of the BoA and the EPO published in the Official Journal or elsewhere on the EPO and BoA webpages.

With the discontinuation of all supplementary publications of the Official Journal, including the yearly supplementary publication "information from the Boards of Appeal", the new page ensures that all relevant information about the BoA remains easily accessible.
