Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the complaint was admissible despite objections to counsel authority and the closed exchange of briefs.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The objection to counsel authority failed, and the later objection based on the right to be heard could not succeed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The fund was validly represented by its commissioner; in federal administrative complaint proceedings, representation is not limited to patent attorneys, and the relevant power of attorney existed. On the hearing complaint, the fund had received the opponent's duplicate annexes and should then have sought to respond.
