Summary of Facts and Submissions
I. The appeal contests the interlocutory decision of the Opposition Division of European Patent Office dated 14 May 2007, concerning maintenance of European patent No. 0 992 635 in amended form.
The appellant (patent proprietor) filed a notice of appeal on 23 July 2007 and paid the fee for appeal on the same day.

II. By a communication dated 18 December 2007, sent by registered letter with advice of delivery, the Registry of the Board informed the appellant that no statement of grounds has 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. The appellant filed no observations in response to said communication.
Reasons for the Decision
As no written statement setting out the ground of appeal has been filed, the appeal has to be rejected as inadmissible (Article 108 EPC in conjunction with Rule 65(1)EPC 1973, Rule 101(1) EPC 2000).
ORDER
For these reasons, it is decided that:
The appeal is rejected as inadmissible.
