8.2. Correction of priority declarations
Overview
8.2. Correction of priority declarations
Under the EPC 1973, the correction of priority declarations was allowed under R. 88 EPC 1973. The possibility to correct the declaration of priority was expressly introduced into the EPC 2000 in R. 52(3) EPC. This additional possibility of correcting priority data under R. 52(3) EPC is not exhaustive and R. 139 EPC therefore continues to be applicable, too (see e.g. J 11/18, J 15/18).
