PR-6 of the Unified Fristenrechner. Fills the EPA-side coverage gaps
named in the design + repairs three pre-existing EPA bugs surfaced
during this work.
Migration 045:
PRE-EXISTING BUG FIXES
1. EPA anchor convention bug. epa_opp.grant and epa_app.entsch were
seeded with party='court' + event_type='decision' → calculator's
isCourtDeterminedRule(r) returned true → those anchor rows
rendered as IsCourtSet (no date), propagating IsCourtSet to every
downstream rule that chained off them. Result on prod: EPA_OPP
showed "court-set" for Einspruchsfrist / Erwiderung / Entscheidung
instead of computed dates; ONLY the trailing beschwerde + begr
rendered dates (and only by accident, because they had parent_id=
NULL and computed off triggerDate directly).
Fix: changed both anchors to party='both' + event_type='filing' so
they render as IsRootEvent. Matches the convention I established
for DE_INF_OLG / DE_INF_BGH / DE_NULL_BGH / DPMA_BPATG_BESCHWERDE /
DPMA_BGH_RB anchors in PR-3/4/5.
2. EPA_OPP appeal-phase parent bug. epa_opp.beschwerde +
beschwerde_begr had parent_id=NULL → were computing 2mo and 4mo
from the GRANT date instead of from the OPPOSITION DECISION date.
Re-parented both on epa_opp.entsch. They now correctly render as
IsCourtSet placeholders (because entsch is court-set) until the
user enters the real decision date via the Phase A click-to-edit
affordance.
3. EPA_APP.erwidg modelling bug. Was parent_id=NULL + duration=0 +
party=both + event=filing → IsRootEvent → emitted the trigger date
as "Erwiderung". Now properly modelled per Art. 12(1)(c) RPBA 2020:
parent=epa_app.begr, duration=4 months, name="Beschwerdeerwiderung",
legal_source=EU.RPBA.12.1.c, response-to-appeal concept.
NEW COVERAGE (per design §5.3)
EPA_OPP gains 2 rules:
- epa_opp.r79_further: Stellungnahme weiterer Beteiligter
(R.79(2)/(3) EPC) — court-set, parent=erwidg
- epa_opp.r116: Eingaben vor mündl. Verhandlung
(R.116(1) EPC) — court-set, parent=entsch (so it surfaces in the
opposition phase but stays IsCourtSet until oral hearing date is
entered via override)
EPA_APP gains 2 rules:
- epa_app.r116: Eingaben vor mündl. Verhandlung
(R.116(1) EPC + Art. 13 RPBA) — court-set, parent=oral
- epa_app.r106: Antrag auf Überprüfung
(Art. 112a EPÜ) — 2 months from service of decision, parent=
entsch2 (the BoA decision)
Three new EN-slug concepts (UPC/EPC-native): r79-further-stellungnahme,
r116-final-submissions, petition-for-review.
Live-verified on paliad.de:
EPA_OPP trigger 2026-05-04 → grant IsRootEvent / Einspruchsfrist
2027-02-04 (9mo) / Erwiderung 2027-06-04 (4mo from frist) /
r79_further 2027-06-04 (filed-with-erwidg) / Entscheidung +
Beschwerde + Begründung + r116 IsCourtSet (waiting for entsch).
EPA_APP trigger 2026-05-04 → entsch IsRootEvent / Beschwerde
2026-07-06 (2mo, weekend-shift) / Begründung 2026-09-04 (4mo from
entsch) / Beschwerdeerwiderung 2027-01-04 (4mo from Begründung
per RPBA 12.1.c) / r116 IsCourtSet (parent=oral) / r106 IsCourtSet
(parent=entsch2, will compute 2mo from BoA decision once entered).
Out of scope (deferred to PR-7 cross-cutting): Wiedereinsetzung
(Art. 122 EPÜ + R.136 EPC), Weiterbehandlung (Art. 121 EPÜ + R.135 EPC),
Validierungsfrist national (Art. 65 EPÜ).

-- t-paliad-131 Phase B5: EPA gap-fill.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Three concerns:
|
|
--
|
|
-- 1. Existing EPA anchor bug. Both epa_opp.grant and epa_app.entsch
|
|
-- are anchor rows ("the trigger date is the grant publication" /
|
|
-- "the trigger is the service of the appealable decision") but were
|
|
-- seeded with party='court' + event_type='decision'. The
|
|
-- calculator's isCourtDeterminedRule(r) returns true for that
|
|
-- combo → those rows render as IsCourtSet (no date), which then
|
|
-- propagates IsCourtSet to every downstream rule that chains off
|
|
-- them. As a result, EPA_OPP today shows "court-set" for
|
|
-- Einspruchsfrist / Erwiderung etc. instead of computed dates.
|
|
-- Fix: change anchor rows to party='both' + event_type='filing' so
|
|
-- they render as IsRootEvent — matches the convention used for
|
|
-- DE_INF_OLG / DE_INF_BGH / DE_NULL_BGH / DPMA_BPATG_BESCHWERDE /
|
|
-- DPMA_BGH_RB anchors landed in PR-3/4/5.
|
|
--
|
|
-- 2. Existing EPA_OPP appeal-phase parent bug. epa_opp.beschwerde +
|
|
-- beschwerde_begr currently have parent_id=NULL → they compute from
|
|
-- triggerDate (= grant publication), which is wrong: the appeal
|
|
-- period runs from service of the OPPOSITION decision, not from
|
|
-- grant. Re-parent them on epa_opp.entsch.
|
|
--
|
|
-- 3. Coverage gap-fill per design §5.3:
|
|
-- - R.79(2)/(3) EPC: Stellungnahmen weiterer Beteiligter im
|
|
-- Einspruch — court-set
|
|
-- - R.116(1) EPC: 1-Monats-Frist vor mündlicher Verhandlung für
|
|
-- letzte Schriftsätze — court-set (EPA sets the absolute date when
|
|
-- summoning, this rule guarantees ≥1 month of preparation)
|
|
-- - Art.112a EPÜ + R.106 EPC: Antrag auf Überprüfung der
|
|
-- Beschwerdekammerentscheidung beim Großen Beschwerdekammer —
|
|
-- 2 Monate ab Zustellung der Entscheidung
|
|
--
|
|
-- Three new concepts (UPC/EPC-native → EN slugs):
|
|
-- r79-stellungnahme, r116-eingaben, petition-for-review
|
|
-- Plus reuse existing decision/oral-hearing/notice-of-appeal etc.
