Headnote

I. In a decision to grant, if the text given for grant is not and obviously cannot be the text corresponding to the real intention of the Examining Division, there is an obvious mistake within the meaning of Rule 89 EPC and the text erroneously indicated can be replaced by the text on which the Division actually wanted to base its decision.

II. The filing of replacement pages for the whole specification should be avoided unless the extent of amendments makes it absolutely necessary.
