Summary of Facts and Submissions
I. The appellant contests the decision of the examining division dated 20 June 2008 refusing European patent application No. 02 729 014.7.
II. The appellant filed a notice of appeal received on 20 August 2008 and paid the appeal fee on the same day.
III. No statement of grounds of appeal was filed within the four-month time limit provided for in Article 108 EPC.
IV. In a communication dated 16 February 2009 sent by registered post with advice of delivery, the board informed the appellant that no statement of grounds of appeal had been received and that it was to be expected that the appeal would be rejected as inadmissible. The appellant was informed that any observations should be filed within two months.
V. The appellant filed no observations in response to the communication.
Reasons for the Decision
As no written statement of grounds of appeal has been filed and as the notice of appeal does not contain anything that could be regarded as a statement of grounds of appeal according to Article 108 EPC, the appeal has to be rejected as inadmissible (Article 108 EPC in conjunction with Rule 101(1) EPC).
ORDER
For these reasons it is decided that:
The appeal is rejected as inadmissible.
