In strict legal language, the term seat defines the seat of a corporation or organisation as a legal entity, indicating where the headquarters of this entity are located. Decision [http://legal.european-patent-office.org/dg3/biblio/t031012eu1.htm T 1012/03] of December 1, 2006 of the Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office, Reasons 27. ] According to international and national procedural law, "specific legal actions with legal effect for and against the legal entity can be performed at the seat of this entity." However, "the term "seat" is sometimes also used in a broad sense without a specific legal meaning. In this case [it] only defines where an entity islocated and does not mean that this location is a legal seat where specific juridical acts can be performed."
