Any opposition filed by the owner of the contested patent shall be declared inadmissible.
Any opposition that does not comply with the provisions of Articles R. 613-44 or R. 613-44-1 shall also be declared inadmissible.
Where an objection is based on more than one ground, it shall be admissible only if the statement accompanying it complies, for at least one of these grounds, with the provisions of 3° of Article R. 613-44-1. It is deemed to be unfounded on grounds that do not satisfy this condition.
In the event of automatic inadmissibility, the Director General of the National Institute of Industrial Property shall notify the opposing party of the irregularities. The opposing party is then given a period in which to contest this inadmissibility or, in the case of the power of attorney provided for in 5° of Article R. 613-44-1, to put his application in order. In the absence of well-founded observations or regularisation, the objection is declared inadmissible.
The decision of inadmissibility is final.
The decision of inadmissibility is entered in the National Patent Register.
