Article 116 - OJ 1994, 583

Interpretation in oral proceedings

- OJ 1994, 583 -

The EPO requests representatives, wherever possible, to refrain from requesting simultaneous interpreting facilities in oral proceedings before Opposition Divisions, in order to reduce costs.

A copy of EPO Form 2043 which contains important information on oral proceedings in future, will be sent by Fax to parties when the Office arranges a date for oral proceedings in the opposition procedure.

A copy of EPO Form 2043 will also be appended to the summons to oral proceedings (EPO Form 2310) if the requirements for simultaneous interpreting facilities have not already been established by the date of the summons.
