Summary of Facts and Submissions
I. The appeal contests the interlocutory decision of the Opposition Division of the European Patent Office dated 18 February 1992 posted on 31 March 1992, concerning maintenance of European patent No. 0 138 377 in amended form.
The Appellant (Opponent) filed a notice of appeal on 28 May 1992 and paid the fee for appeal on the same day.

II. By a communication dated 15 September 1992, 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. No answer has been given within the given time limit to the Registry's communication.

The appeal is rejected as inadmissible.
