The new hearing date is set for September 6, 2021.

Key Points: 
  • The new hearing date is set for September 6, 2021.
  • On January 29, 2018, the Opposition Division of the EPO concluded the oral proceedings concerning the 355 Patent (the Opposition Proceeding).
  • Management expects the TBA to issue a ruling on the same day as the hearing, with a fully reasoned decision approximately two months following the hearing.
  • The denial of a request to rehear would end the Opposition Proceeding in favor of the opponents.
