Catchwords:
|
|
In order to be admissible an amended claim belatedly filed in
oral proceedings must be clearly allowable by virtue of a clearly
permissible amendment. However, this principle has to be tempered
in examination appeal proceedings by having regard to the extent
to which the application has been examined (reasons 3.2.5).
