Argument summary
- ›Applicant sought restitutio after rejection for non-payment, arguing California wildfires prevented communication between the applicant, its US intermediary, and the EU representative.
- ›Applicant argued the EU representative followed normal practice, lacked authority to advance official fees, and the communication failure was force majeure satisfying Article 67.
- ›The Board found no proof that Cohen IP Law was authorised to represent the applicant, no substantiated California link, and no evidence that direct contact or alternative follow-up was impossible.
- ›Because all due care was not demonstrated, the Board held restitutio was rightly refused and dismissed the appeal.
