OJ 2015/3: CMS filing now also for appeal documents (OJ 2015, A27)

Decision of the President of the European Patent Office dated 11 March 2015 concerning the filing of documents using the EPO case management system

Keypoint
Documents relating to appeal proceedings and for petition for review proceedings are no longer excluded for CMS filing (Article 2(1)). Priority documents are still excluded.

Analysis
This seems to be the only change. The change does not seem to be mentioned in the Notice.
The still excluded priority documents are the documents of R53(1), the certified copy. It seems to me that filing with the CMS of the translation under R53(3) should be possible.
