EPO President comments on referral G 2/24 concerning intervention
15 April, the President of the EPO submitted written observations to the Enlarged Board of Appeal relating to G 2/24, “Skin cleanser”. The referral concerns the question whether, after withdrawal of all appeals, the proceedings may be continued with a third party who intervened during the appeal proceedings.
The President concludes that a third party should have effective rights, including the right to continue the appeal proceedings independently.
The written comments are available in the publicly accessible files via the European Patent Register service.
