6.3.1 Comparative test results

Where the EPO drew up the IPER and referred in it to the submission of test reports, applicants are taken to agree to the use of these reports as the basis for proceedings before the EPO when they use the standard form for entry into the European phase before the EPO as elected Office, i.e. EPO Form 1200. If they do not use that form or if the IPER referring to the test reports was drawn up by another IPEA, they are invited to submit these reports for the proceedings in the European phase before the EPO as designated/elected Office.
