4. More than one independent claim per category (Rule 62a)
4.1 Invitation to indicate which independent claim to search
In the same way as for an invitation under Rule 64 (see B‑VII, 2.2), if If the search division considers that the claims as filed do not comply with Rule 43(2) (see F‑IV, 3.2), it has the discretion either to invite the applicant to indicate, within two months, compliant claims on which the search can be based or to carry out a full search on all the claims and raise the objection under Rule 43(2) only in the writtensearch opinion. In the latter case, the claims will have to be amended to comply with the requirement of Rule 43(2) if the objection persists in examination (F‑IV, 3.3).
