I. Particulars of the priority declaration (date and file number pursuant to Rule 4.10(a) PCT) may be corrected even after publication of the international application without a warning provided that the interests of third parties are not adversely affected (see decisions J 04/82, OJ EPO 1982, 385 and J 03/82, OJ EPO 1983, 171).
The interests of third parties are not adversely affected by a correction, if the mistake in the particulars of the priority declaration is apparent on the face of the published patent application ("apparent discrepancy").
II. In cases where the applicant requested transmittal of the priority documents according to Rule 17.1(b) PCT in due time, a wrong document may be replaced, even after publication of the international application, if the request for transmittal erroneously indicated a wrong document number.
