The applicant has the right to reduction of the examination fee, when the requirements provided for in Articles 14(2)(4) and 94(2) EPC are fulfilled, which in circumstances such as those of the present case may indeed be satisfied, even though the request for examination in an official language of a contracting state other than English, French or German has not been filed together with the request for grant.
