Summary of Facts and Submissions

I. The appeal is directed against the decision of the

Examining Division posted on 22 May 2019, refusing

European patent application 11765154.7.

II. The appellant filed a notice of appeal on 10 July 2019

and paid the appeal fee on the same day.

III. By communication of 14 November 2019, received by the

appellant, the Registry of the Board informed the

appellant that it appeared from the file that the

written statement of grounds of appeal had not been

filed, and that it was therefore to be expected that

the appeal would be rejected as inadmissible pursuant

to Article 108, third sentence, EPC in conjunction with

Rule 101(1) EPC. The appellant was informed that any

observations had to be filed within two months of

notification of the communication.

IV. No reply was received.

Reasons for the Decision

No written statement setting out the grounds of appeal

was filed within the time limit provided by

Article 108, third sentence, EPC in conjunction with

Rule 126(2) EPC. In addition, the notice of appeal does

not contain anything that could be regarded as a

statement of grounds pursuant to Article 108 EPC and

Rule 99(2) EPC. Therefore, the appeal has to be

rejected as inadmissible (Rule 101(1) EPC).

Order

For these reasons it is decided that:

The appeal is rejected as inadmissible.
