In the context of the examination as to formal requirements of the European patent application, the Receiving Section is competent under Rule 58 EPC to identify inconsistencies in the application documents which are immediately apparent from the face of the documents, including whether formal discrepancies are present between amended documents and the documents as originally filed, provided no technical knowledge is required.
