- Leitsatz
1. Rule 88, EPC does not exclude the correction of a mistake in designating States in a European patent application, even if the mistake is not obvious.
2. In cases where the making of the alleged mistake is not self-evident and in cases where it is not immediately evident that nothing else would have been intended than what is offered as the correction, the burden on the person requesting correction of proving the facts must be a heavy one.
