6. Prior art made available to the public anywhere in the world by non-written disclosure

Overview

6.3 Prior art made available by means of oral description 

A revised version of this publication entered into force.

If the prior art was made available to the public by an oral description before the relevant date (i.e. the date of filing of the application or, if applicable, the date of the earliest validly claimed priority) but a document which reproduces the oral description was only published on or after that relevant date, the ISR and the IPER draw attention to this non-written disclosure in the manner provided for in Rule 70.9 (Rules 33.1(b) and 64.2).

Rule 33.1(b),
Rule 64.2, Rule 70.9
GL/ISPE 11.22
