JUVE, "EPA: Nutzer kritisieren Reform der Beschwerdekammern"

JUVE reports on the results of the user survey concerning the planned reform of the Boards of Appeals:

"45 patent attorneys took part in the survey, 13 in-house attorneys, and 22 international associations and user organizations, among them BusinessEurope, EPI or Union-IP. They were keen on the idea of greater independence for the Boards of Appeal, but criticised the planned regulations for the appointment and reappointment of the Board members included in the reform proposal [...] In the evaluation of the user survey, the EPO speaks only of divided opinions on the issue ofvlocation. The members of the Boards of Appeal, by contrast, have always regarded the proposals for a change of venue as being a kind of punishment for their uncomfortable stance in the discussion."
