Leitsatz

1. The Examining Division, when allowing amendments submitted by the applicant in reply to the communication under Rule 51(4) EPC, can establish the applicant's approval of the text intended for grant pursuant to Rule 51(6) EPC on the basis of the amendments and of the texts communicated to the applicant to which no amendments have been submitted.

2. A valid approval of the text intended for grant requires that it is clear which text the applicant has approved. This is not the case if the communication under Rule 51(4) EPC refers to an enclosed text which is not actually annexed.
