Summary of Facts and Submissions
I. In a decision dated 1 February 1990 the Opposition Division decided to reject the opposition filed against European Patent 0 132 854 granted upon the subject-matter of European patent application No. 84 200 560.5.
II. The Appellant appealed against this decision by a telex received on 10 April 1990, paid the fee for appeal on the same date and filed a Statement of Grounds of appeal on 8 June 1990, in which he requested that the patent be revoked.
III. In a letter received on 28 August 1990, the Respondent requested the revocation of the European patent.
