Leitsatz

1. A mistake in a designation of a Contracting State may be corrected in accordance with Rule 88 EPC only if a request has been made for correction sufficiently early for a warning to be included in the publication of the application so that third parties can rely on the application as filed (following former Decisions).

2. If the designation fee for a State was paid, neither within the time limit under Article 79(2) nor within the period of grace under Rule 85a EPC together with the surcharge, such failure cannot be corrected on the basis of and in conjunction with the correction of an error according to Rule 88 first sentence EPC.
