This measure changes the board's parole revocation procedures for offenders after they have been paroled from prison.

A Gagnon II hearing is the final revocation procedure.

There are only two types of centrally executed procedures after grant, the opposition procedure and the limitation and revocation procedures.

A central time-limited opposition procedure and central limitation and revocation procedures before the EPO are available however.

The limitation and revocation procedures allow the patent proprietor to centrally request the limitation or revocation of his own European patent.

Almost all attributes of a European patent in a Contracting State, i.e. ownership, validity, and infringement, are determined independently under respective national law, except for the opposition procedure, limitation procedure, and revocation procedure as discussed above.

In European patent law, the limitation and revocation procedures before the European Patent Office (EPO) are post-grant, ex parte, administrative procedures allowing any European patent to be centrally limited by an amendment of the claims or revoked, respectively.
