Leitsatz

I. If a mistake is made in a declaration of priority it may be corrected in accordance with Rule 88 EPC, provided that a request has been made for correction sufficiently early for a warning to be included in the publication of the application.

II. Where a department of the EPO is informed by an applicant's representative that information and evidence will be submitted in support of an application for correction under Rule 88 EPC as soon as it is available, the department may commit a substantial procedural violation if it issues a decision without having fixed a time limit for the submission or having waited for a reasonable time.
