      title = {Overview of the Appeal Proceedings according to the EPC /},
      abstract = {About one in a hundred European patent cases ends up  before a Board of Appeal. The appeal reviews a decision of  a first instance department of the European Patent Office.  The appeal proceedings are substantially different from the  first instance proceedings; they are a judicial review and  not necessarily a continuation of the administrative first  instance proceedings. This first aspect is even more  pronounced since 1 January 2020, with the changes in the  Rules of Procedure of the Boards of Appeal  This books  provides an easily readable overview of the appeal  proceedings in the three official languages of the EPO:  English, German and French, including the (New) Rules of  Procedure of the Boards of Appeal and of the Enlarged Board  of Appeal. It covers amongst others the (new) requirements  on filing of an appeal, the possible actions of the Board,  the stricter treatment of late filings of the parties, the  conduct of oral proceedings and the issue of the decision.  Thus, the book gives an up-to-date account of the most  important issues of the appeal proceedings at the Boards of  Appeal of the EPO.},
