11.2 Electronic version of cited document 

In the case of patent documents, a complete copy is made available electronically either via MyEPO Portfolio or in Espacenet (worldwide.espacenet.com/).

MyEPO Portfolio users receive copies of cited non-patent literature and translations of cited patent literature in their Mailbox.

If a document has been published in electronic form only (see Rule 68(2) and OJ EPO 2000, 367), an electronic version is made available to the applicant. If only parts of it are not available in paper form, then at least those parts will be made available as an electronic version. At any rate, the applicant must ultimately be provided with the whole document either as a combination of paper and electronic versions or in electronic form only.
