Special considerations in proceedings with more than one party

 

If, for instance in opposition proceedings, the proprietor of the patent files an application for re-establishment of rights, the opponents and any third parties, although not involved in the procedure for the re-establishment of rights, must be informed of the application for re-establishment of rights and the subsequent decision, if this involves the re-establishment of rights as regards a time limit connected with the opposition procedure.
