1. Communication under Rule 71(3)
1.3 Translations of the claims
|
A revised version of this publication entered into force. |
The communication under Rule 71(3) also invites the applicant to file a translation of the claims in the two official languages of the EPO other than the language of the proceedings within the same non-extendable four-month period.
If the application contains different sets of claims for particular contracting states (see H‑III, 4), a translation of all the sets of claims must be filed.
Only one copy of the translation needs to be filed.
Examiners should not concern themselves with the quality of the translation filed.
The translation should meet the requirements pursuant to Rule 50(1).
