To justify before the Court of Appeal hearing an appeal lodged pursuant to the second paragraph of Article R. 411-19 the claims they had submitted to the Director General of the National Institute of Industrial Property, the parties may put forward new pleas, produce new documents or propose new evidence.
On pain of inadmissibility raised ex officio, the parties may not submit new claims to the court except for the purpose of having questions arising from the intervention of a third party or from the occurrence or revelation of a fact judged.
Claims are not new if they are directed to the same ends as those submitted to the Director General of the National Institute of Industrial Property, even if their legal basis is different.
