Rule 35(12) imposes on an applicant for a European patent the obligation to express weights and measures in metric units. Consequently, in the absence of any amendment to that Rule, the organs of the EPO have no power to require an applicant to express weights and measure in terms of SI units as a condition for the grant of a patent.
