What must be requested in writing to have an oral argument before the Board of Appeal?

To have an oral argument before the Board of Appeal, it is mandatory to request the argument in writing. This request must also include a fee payment, as per the rules governing the appeal process. The payment of fees is an integral part of ensuring that the administrative aspects of scheduling and conducting the oral argument are properly managed.

Asking for the oral argument itself in writing does not fully encapsulate the procedural requirements, as it omits the necessity of fee payment. Additionally, suggesting a new Appeal Brief or an amendment to the claims is unrelated to the primary requirement of formally requesting an oral argument, as these actions are not prerequisites for engaging in that particular aspect of the appeals process. Thus, including the associated fees in the written request is entirely essential.
