Chapter V – Unity of invention

Overview

2. No payment of additional search fees 

A revised version of this publication entered into force.

If, in reply to the objection to lack of unity at the search stage, the applicant has not paid additional search fees, the WO‑IPEA/IPER is based on the claims for which the search report and the WO‑ISA have been drafted, taking amendments and arguments from the applicant into account. Section IV is not filled out.
